In my wanderings yesterday, I stopped for a while at the Bonner County Community Food Bank, where our daughter-in-law Debbie serves as director.
I've visited with Debbie at the facility lots of times but never knew until yesterday that the folks on the food bank staff and their volunteers have assembled a museum of sorts.
Over the years, individuals have brought in unique samples of canned food and other related products to add to the pleasantly quirky collection.
Yesterday's discovery for me involved just a cursory look and a few photos. I am determined to go back some day and really study this fascinating display of items.
During my other travels yesterday, I picked up some copies of the "hot-off-the-press" winter edition of Sandpoint Magazine.
Even though my time spent with the magazine involves another cursory look, I can say that, as usual, the publication is loaded with stories and wonderful photography.
As always, I'm proud to be associated with the magazine as writer of the "Natives and Newcomers" feature.
Once again, the four individuals chosen for this issue provided a nice and fun representation of the folks that make our community tick.
Plus, they each have interesting backgrounds and opinions.
You can read that feature and the entire magazine by clicking on the link below. Once there, you can click for a full-screen view of the contents.
Great job, Trish and staff!
Hope you enjoy.
For the cat lovers among us---these two images can be seen at Panhandle Animal Shelter in Ponderay.
It's always fun to visit the shelter not only for the potential pet kitties or doggies but also to see the delighted expressions of those who come to visit or to adopt.
The shelter also has a program where volunteers take young kittens home and foster them until they're ready to go to their permanent homes.
Yesterday, one of those volunteers had come to pick up her kittens. When I saw her getting into her car, she was like a kid in a candy store----totally delighted with her new batch ready for nurturing.
It's nice to know about these unseen heroes who give of their time and their love so that the little kitties get off to a good start.

Do you see that Gonzaga logo on this gentleman's jacket? Well, to put it mildly, he's a devoted ZAGS fan. Twas fun to catch two of my favorite people side by side yesterday: that would be Pat West and my daughter-in-law Debbie Love. And, yes, the undefeated, 8th-ranked ZAGS play tonight, tipping off at 5 p.m. (according to the Spokesman-Review) against the Arkansas Pine-Bluff Golden Lions. KHQ-TV, channel 6. GO, ZAGS!!! Happy Saturday. |
