Thank you ALL for your support! We COULD NOT have done this without ALL the Volunteers, ALL of the Donations and Neighborhood Support! I must say, I am glad all the items are now out of my house! I could only imagine what some neighbors were thinking seeing truck loads of items coming to my house. I kept watching for TV cameras to come and start filming a hoarding intervention!

I hope all the volunteers take it easy today and rest up. I know I am. I recovering from the sun burn and sore feet from walking. I did not expect to walk 10 miles a day and never leave the front yard!

Watch for GREAT things to keep happening in Harvest Hills South neighborhood!
