After our trip to Allyus, it was back to the Refugio. It was time to give out pants and shirts and socks and shoes. Suzette looked like a peddler, just opening her sack. Anne was beat sorting out pants and shirts and shoes for the kids to pick out one of each (yes, they got two shoes!). We decided she shouldn't work at the annual white sale. Five kids at a time came into a room and picked out their favorites. The girls all wanted white and pink sparkly tennis shoes and the decorated jeans. Everyone, from the youngest to the oldest was excited to get their new clothes. Many put them on immediately and wanted our approval of their choices. There was also a dentist up the hill today, so teeth were getting cleaned and poked. We also got out the American football I brought with me. We had blast playing. Clearly some have seen a bit of Monday Night Football, since they wanted me to snap center the ball to them while they went "hut, hut!" So far, I don't think Ben Rothlesberger has to worry about his job for a while! I only wish you could have experienced the joy the things you sent to these kids brought them this afternoon.
