Day 6 ~ Best Camping Buddy...
Car camping, walk-in, shelter, backpack-in, tent, hammock...it doesn't matter...I'm so grateful that my girl is game for anything. She's a talker, a listener, a reader, hiker, swimmer, and just be-er. We've had some great trips together this year, and I'm counting the days until the next one. <3

Fighting the Good Fight, Day 6: Central Texas Food Bank
From their website:
Thanks to a thriving business sector and unparalleled economic development, Central Texas is among the fastest growing regions in the nation. But amid this growth and prosperity, many of our neighbors are being left behind.
The rising cost of housing, utilities, transportation and healthcare leaves many of our neighbors to make impossible choices and painful sacrifices. Two-thirds of the people we serve say they had to choose between buying food and paying for housing in the past year. Eighty percent say they had to choose between food and medicine.
Hunger affects people from all walks of life. Working families, retired seniors on fixed incomes, grandparents with custody of grandchildren, the chronically ill and the disabled all turn to the Food Bank for help in emergencies or as part of their regular meal planning. As we work together to ensure all these people get the nutritious food they need, we’re counting on you to help educate the community and dispel myths about hunger around us. Please share your knowledge with others.
