Day 99: Goodwill Donation in Florida

Greetings from Florida!

While Mom, Dad, and Sophia are in NH and Olivia is home for the weekend working, I am down in Florida visiting our Nannie. Cousin Sarah came down today as well and she will be staying for the rest of the weekend. Nannie has a huge walk-in closet in her bedroom filled with her trendy clothes. Over the years, all of her (quite fashionable) attire has accumulated to fill up over half the closet. Many of these clothes she does not wear any more, so Sarah and I suggested that we go through her closet and donate what clothing she felt she would never wear again to the Goodwill store down the street. The Goodwill store is pretty much a secondhand shop (there are many around the country as Goodwill is a national organization) where those who are less fortunate (or even those who are looking for a great bargain!) can shop around and buy pre owned clothes, furniture, or household items at fairly inexpensive prices. Having browsed in the store once before, I can definitely say that Nannie' s clothes will certainly add some style! There were so many cute clothes that unfortunately no longer fit Nannie anymore. We ended up filling 2 trash bags with old shirts, pants, purses and shoes. In fact, the night before we sorted through all of her jewelry, so we even threw in a couple bracelets to the growing donation collection. Nannie has always had great taste and owns some of the most interesting and fun attire. She will make some shoppers very happy!
