Preparing
I have been working on my Rummage preparations. I just got off the phone with my co-chair of the sorting department, and we caught up on what has been happening with our people this winter. I told her of one volunteer whose husband has had major heart surgery; she told me of one who was hit by a car. I told her about the Wickfield baby. She told me about her mother's eyes. Some of the volunteers may want to get together before April. I have completed a draft of the donations-by-category list: thirty three departments, more or less, some of which have fifty or so specific categories of things they take, plus exceptions, redirects, and qualifications. Im told her how I saw the former chair, and of the unwelcome suggestions she made about how we ought to run the department. In three months we'll be back out there, in our tents, and it will be kind of like winter some of the time when we start, and kind of like summer when we finish.
