A few weeks back, Sophie asked her papa if he would help her organize a bake sale to raise money for homeless animals.
Being a happy baker, David was happy to help. Sophie made a huge sign with a smiling dog on it, explaining she was raising money for animals in need of homes. Then she and David made banana bread and set up a buffet table on the sidewalk. Sweet neighbors stopped by to buy up all of the banana bread from sister-sellers S and H.
Today, my mama is taking both girls to the sad animal shelter in the Berkshires, the run-down one that never gets any press, to deliver the money raised. They’ll be seeing where the money is going, and be able to meet some of the animals they’ll be helping.
Meanwhile, I’m staying home and vacuuming up dog fur, and cleaning out the back porch to find toys for charity, and doing my mom’s laundry. That’s my gig. When the girls come back, they’re going to decide which toys are in good-enough condition to give away, and then we’ll take them to Goodwill.
Good team effort today. Thanks to everybody local who bought banana bread!
