The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is coming through the Dells next week. This is a big fundraiser for local food pantries, and the little railroad where Tom volunteers always helps out with security. Since it is a family event, we patrol along the length of the train to make sure children don't get too close for comfort. Tom has been organizing and supervising the security for several years now. The first year we helped it was bitterly cold, but recent years have been more tolerable. The forecast at the moment for train day is snow showers in the morning and temps around freezing in the afternoon when the train is scheduled to arrive.
This afternoon I will take over a bag of clothes to donate to St. Vincent de Paul. We keep the tradition of cleaning out closets at least once a year and donating useable items to St. Vinnie's, Goodwill or some such outfit. I don't think I buy much in the way of new clothes, but I am always amazed at how much I can give away and still have more than enough hanging in the closet.
