I am grateful I got to spend the morning with three co-workers at the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern NY<\/a> doing “salvage” work. We did things like prepare packing boxes, open up cartons of donated things, checked expiration dates and sorted things into boxes. I did that last bit, plucking items going by on a conveyor belt and putting them into boxes of similar* products or a category of products. <\/p>\n

The other folks there were very experienced and very kind to this noob. Out of the corner of my ear I thought I kept hearing my name and at the end, when they shut off the conveyor belt so everyone could break for lunch, I asked ok, which of you two ladies is Mary Beth because I am Mary Beth too! And the other Mary Beth was surprised and pleased to meet another two-word Mary Beth.<\/p>\n

We moved MANY cartons of all sorts of foods and other donated items a step closer to where they will help someone. It’s a big operation doing good work in our region.<\/p>\n

Afterwards we enjoyed lunch at Professor Java’s and then it was off to Mom’s house to do the taxes. After we got that done and fiddled with computer stuff a bit, it was dinner time and then it was home for this pooped body.<\/p>\n

All these frogs were jumping across Rt 20 – peepers! on March 16! that’s just wrong!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But, on my porch was a box for me and it contained this and some Black Raspberry wine. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m pleased to report that the winery did a much better on the wine than they did depicting a dandelion! Yummy!<\/p>\n

And now – just to round out the evening – big thunder and lightning! BANG!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
