The blessings are raining down on us, still. THIS is the kind of rain that the ladies from New Orleans need!

Today, yet another box landed on our doorstep. And again, it contained beautiful clothing that was either new or gently worn, and was top-quality. This time, however, there was no return address on the box. After a little sleuthing, though, I found that it had come from yet another attorney friend of mine. That makes three women attorneys who have donated designer clothing in the past week; another attorney had written a $300 check. Who says attorneys are all hard-bitten sharks with no heart???

Prior to today, clothing has also arrived from my mother's Sunday School class in Florida (3 boxes); from Salvation Army; from Gifts of Love; and from a woman who didn't even know what her connection was to us other than some personal friend of mine had contacted other mutual friends about donating clothing, and she showed up on our doorstep.

Now all we need are proper-fitting shoes and bras. Sizes 8 1/2 - 10, and 40D and 44 DDD, respectively. I guess we'll have to buy those when some money becomes available.

The ladies are enjoying a trip to the hair stylist today, having been taken under the wing of a woman of color from Simsbury. The ladies have had a difficult time finding anyone who could help them with their hair. Apparently, one needs a license to do "ethnic hair" around here, and in this 97% white community (Simsbury, CT; there are towns "over the mountain" such as Bloomfield and Hartford with much higher minority populations), this is a rare commodity. I'm not sure how far the ladies are having to travel today, but God bless Dee for taking them there. I think they will enjoy a change from the wigs that they have been wearing.
