Friday April 3rd Scarlet Cord Update


It was the one of the first sunny evenings of the year. As we were preparing to send out our street team several women commented that they had seen ladies out. We were stoked!!



Melanie, Elisa, Bekah, Sandy, Emily, Cindy, Raelene and Amanda gave their Friday night to come and bless each other and our guests. Judie brought a savory rice dish with beef, tomatoes and onions served in a gorgeous bowl that she made. We also had homemade chicken salad sandwiches, green salad with snow peas that made you think it was summer already, a mixture of cut up melons summer is a comin, carrot salad, pastries and to finish it off we had my new favorite form of strawberry shortcake.



D came in just as we opened. She brought a cook book for us to use for Friday night meals, and another book which I think talked about cleaning. :) She talked about her mortgage situation, her daughters and other typical D topics. Last week we commented on her green tendencies as of late, this week she reported that she had talked to her neighbor about helping her make a cube table out of some wood and he suggested she buy a piece of glass for the top. Regarding his suggestion she excused his behavior by explain that he wasn't very green and didn't know about recycling. :-)



Toward the end of the evening J came in and said that a couple of weeks ago one of the volunteers had said they bring in fixodent. So Emily, Sandy, and I began digging through the closet. SURE ENOUGH there it was! You ladies are amazing. I love that when we say we will do something we do! Way to go! As J was waiting for her bag of goodies she told Bekah and the others that she had been really depressed lately, to the point that she sometimes can't get out of bed.



If we can keep J's depression and D's financial situation in our thoughts and prayers that would be great.



The street team encountered two women on the street and greeted all of our usual pretenders and hotel managers. We also took lotions to G-Spot and the place next door.



It is so exciting to be a part of Scarlet Cord.
