Today was another super blessed day for my residents and me. The Roanoke Valley Harley Owners Group did their annual Christmas potluck dinner , giftgiving , and fill the pantry for Restin South. Mike Puckett put it all together and organized and coordinated. First we had a big spread of food for lunch- hams and meatballs and potatoes and gravy, mac and cheese, scalloped corn, and cheesy broccoli , rolls, lots of different salads and desserts.., yummy yummy…. Mike gave a short history of the tradition….then it was time to open gifts-Johnny’s’ kids handed out the cards and many people gave gifts to the guys. Paul and Lisa-I miss you and thank you. Susan and Kenny, Sandy and Dave, Mike and Linda . Mick, Walt, and all the generous people who donated to the pantry. It’s always so much fun and excitement and the men really have a great time . The greatest members on earth give of their time and money and I’m sure some sacrifice their own family time to spend time with mine. Restin South has been blessed by this tradition for near 30 years now?!! Wow! Channel 7 came out to see what it was all about and to share the story of the 3 vets and how they did the shopping at Sam’s . Like an assembly line. It was a fabulous day and we are so blessed to have so many friends and families who care about us and are filled with the Spirit of Christmas. What a blessing!
