morning ladies 
We had rain last night 
What a sad story about the families in motels, Jan and well done for your school principal and yourself wanting to do something. My parents had motels and they always provided a laundry for their visitors. It was only set up for one or two visitors at a time and the line space was at a premium. You had to pay to use the drier. There were no cooking facilities though as it was expected tourists would be out and about and buying their meals. It was set up more for breakfast and a cuppa or glass of wine later in the day. Motels are not designed to be a semi or permanent living arrangement as they are there as a bed for the night while you are visiting the area. I wonder if those gas camp cookers and electric frying pans would be any use to the families? There must be some unused cookers and pans in the back of cupboards that people don't need anymore. The gas bottles for the camp cookers aren't expensive and you can even get them from the Warehouse. Maybe Briscoes or somewhere like that could contribute or put a call out to the community.
I agree Lilith, I think politicians are well out of touch with how tough it is for people. And certain political leaders calling them 'bottom feeders' does not help the cause. Life can throw curve balls at any of us, there by the grace of God go I and all that.
I'm not sure what we are doing today. The weather will dictate if I am inside or out but I suspect I will be spending time with a needle in my hands at some stage.
happy crafting
