In October, we gathered around the fireplace at Silverwood, warmed by good company and hot drinks. We received 20 items, many of them time-consuming blankets and shawls.
It was our month for red, white and blue items -- and you all came through with such gorgeous items! They'll be donated to the VA Hospital in November in honor of Veterans Day. We donated there last year, as well, after learning that they're always in need of amply-sized lapghans for ailing vets. (Read about our previous donations here.)
