The story behind this event:
A member of our homeschool group organizes this every year. Last year when we met, the goal was 50 boxes, which we easily exceeded. This year it was 75. Because the interest has been so great, we had to hold it at Rockbridge Baptist Church instead of her home, this year. Throughout the year, people gather items that can be put into the boxes, so that on the day of our packing party, we can lay them out assembly line style. What fun we have!
Most of us bring a sack lunch and enjoy spending more time together, eating and talking. And the kids get some time to run around and play. Today was a beautiful day for that, too.
