"The future comes one day at a time."
---Dean Acheson
Today was the final day of candy collection. Wow, what a huge mountain of candy we have. And it's all been one email at at time (to listservs), one bag at a time, one day at a time, one FedExed package at a time, one dropoff at a time, at my doorstep or that of one of the other collectors. Yet the sum total is huge -- a truckload totally full.
Remarkable how generous people are - buying candy this year specifically for this project in addition to donating extra Halloween candy. And having their kids go out and trick-or-treat for the troops. I'll miss the constant flurry of activity with candy deliveries to my front doorstep, but really need to get it out of my house before I turn into a house from all the Reese's I'm eating!
Next up for tomorrow: A packing party to load up the truck. Will let you know how it goes!
