Wow! I think I just made my big brake…never thought it would be about free dirty window panes from a field that put me there.:) I love your reader’s comments and thank God for a friend like you. I am overjoyed at seeing how He is at work in your life and blessing you through this! I will get to work on the frames, pronto!

Hello I love your site Your children are beautiful.
I have 3 of my own a 5 year old , a 4 year old and a 7 month old. life is great wonderful crazy etc.
I’m almost ambarass to say but One morning I took a trip to my local save a lot, I purchased some groceries my son was with me and of course the baby, my 5 year old was in school. It was about 9 or 10 in the am. After my purchase I walk past the dumster for the grocery I notice a box on the floor so out of curiosity I took a peek to my deligth a nice juicy fresh green pepper very large, I took a look around shamelessly I bend down and pick it up my son said mommy what are you doing? I told him, remenber he is only 4 years old. I look some more and found a bag fully closed of spice ham with experation expiring in a week, so I got that too I was very proud that I did this. It did not feel bad at all, they were delicious. I had a new found respect for the people who only eat and foung food out of the restaurant dumpsters, they have a name but I forgot it. I wish I knew someone like you I would go bargain hunt and search for perfectly good things at free or bargain. I’m a black woman from Haiti I guess because of slavery reason Black people have a huge complex about these things but not I. I would love to have a bargain partner in crime. I just wanted to share to this day. I’m proud that I found the items and your site.
