Welcome to Chez DuBois! This is currently the home for all things related to the Katrina Golden Girls. And a few other things...

Today is a busy day for the ladies. And for me. Again. Melanie was up at 5:30 a.m. to prepare for her new job at Horizon Foods. She is selling gourmet frozen foods to businesses, and will be getting her own truck to drive 24/7 beginning on Friday. Provided, that is, that she is able to get her CT driver's license by then. We hope!

I took Melanie to work at about 7:30 a.m., then off to court I went. My actual legal work there did not take long, and the ladies were truly blessed when once again, someone unexpected came through in a big way. A female colleague of mine, whom I've long admired since she burst upon the legal scene quite successfully just a few years ago, stopped me to say she had heard about the ladies and asked what they needed most. I told her, "spending money. Everyone is coming through with canned goods and such, but discretionary funds are scarce at the moment." She promptly sat down and wrote a check for $300, and said "Well, here's $100 apiece. Now, what else do they need? Please let me know." I told her about the shortage of size 2x and 3x clothing. She will be making some calls...
