however i felt also like some small piece of this cake was absent. One of the women who comes regularly has now left... and we will miss her but also wish her well as her life continues... it would have been nice to share this cake with her...
today we were 16 women. many of us continue to knit our knee warmers but there are many other projects on the go as well. including baby blankets for one of the women - who is due soon. next week our plan is to begin designing the banners. we are also arranging a trip to the art gallery. and still planning that knit in!
the women are filled with ideas about how to make our shelter systems better. first of all they would appreciate permanent housing, and recognition that shelters are not and should not be long term solutions. they would also appreciate housing for women over 50. there is a sense that perhaps shelters for specific groups would keep more women off the streets... and the usual wish for no bedbugs!
