We awoke to a freshly baked quiche and pancakes in which we stuck in a birthday candle for Tiffani :) we headed out to Restart where we began with the donation rooms, this time with the men's donation room. With only an hour of work we got it all almost sorted out. Then we headed downstairs to serve lunch. I ate with Robin again today which was nice because we got to go deeper than politics- she shared a bit about her life with me and asked me about mine. It was ...

She started us out with putting letters in envelopes and giving us some background information on the organization. They really focus on transitional and permanent ho...

We started out the day with a delicious breakfast (including quiche!) made by our lovely hostesses and had a great conversation with them over the meal. We got all prettied up and went to Mass at St. James church, and even though we showed up late, it was the most welcoming Mass I've ever seen. It was name tag Sunday, so everyone could figure out each other's names which was good because we met a lot of people and got to learn more about the parish. They represen...
