300 Towels

Have you ever wondered what 300 towels would look like? I found out Saturday when I had 300 towels stuffed in the rear and back seat of the Durango. That's a lot of towels. I should have taken a picture but didn't think of it until just now--rats! I bought 300 towels Saturday. Actually, a friend bought them and we transferred them from her SUV to my SUV. The towels are now safely stored in the Share Your Christmas room at church. We are putting towels in our gift bags this year. I had been looking for a good price on towels, contacting several companies via the Internet. I was hoping that one would be touched by my SYC story and actually donate the towels. No such luck, and no good price. Then last week K-Mart marked their $2 towels down to $1.50. My friend works at K-Mart so she could get an employee discount. She got the 300 towels for me--saved me over $67! That's a good friend! Actually, she is my angel. That worry--finding towels we could afford--is now over. It's the rest of the contents of the bag I have to think about--socks, gloves, candy, etc.

Today was a good day. The weather was so much better than last week's. I can handle the heat but not the humidity. Sounds like most of the week is supposed to be better.

I'm back to proofing court cases. I got caught up on all the collections and filings that I had stacked up on my desk. I can actually see the top of the desk. It looks good. I've completed almost one box of cases--found a couple of family cases that I will copy for my files. Then there was one today that had a deposition from the defendant in an alienation of affection case. He refused to answer any of the questions, you know, the "fifth amendment" thing. Sure sounded guilty to me. There was no final decree so I'll have to look it up to see what happened. Some of the cases can make me laugh while others are very sad. There were two damages cases that dealt with the deaths of two young men, 16 & 18, in an automobile accident. Life cut short because of someone else's desire to drive too fast.

I'm off to Buffalo tomorrow with Susan to get copies of a court case that was sent to Dallas County from Polk County. Should be an interesting afternoon.
