We did the rounds of the two Goodwill this morning. I am surprised at myself, as I never thought in a thousand years I would voluntarily go into these places. However it is becoming the norm, and less traumatic for me. Kelli can always find something, whether it is things for the wedding, or items to sell on. The principal idea behind Goodwill is interesting, as it is a charity foundation to give employment and training opportunities to those who may have barriers to finding a conventional job. It is a non-profit organisation that raises money (mostly as a result of Kelli) though the hundreds of thrift stores around the country.
We met some friends for lunch at the Brick Lane Pizza, in Grand Rapids, a cool place that serves a good vegan and vegetarian menu.
On the way back we stopped at Goodwill again, this time to let Kelli use the facilities. Having a quick look round we found a five foot long bench that weighed a ton. We struggled it into the truck, and took it home. This should be another quick transformation.
