"Southern Ladies Enjoying Wine"

That is the name of a group of ladies who get together once a month for sort of a girl's night out, or girl's night in... depending on where they meet, I would guess. Southern Ladies Enjoying Wine, or SLEW, for short.

The founder of this wonderful group, along with her husband, stopped by our home tonight with 27 pajama sets that she and her Southern Ladies collected at their August meeting. Every set is just as cute as it can be, and I was totally overwhelmed with the generosity of this women's group.

Always, when I think the pajama collections are slowing down a bit, someone calls or eMails me with a wonderful surprise of pajamas. Next week, one of the local church groups is having a "Back to School Bash," with all the kids bringing a pajama set to donate to the Pajama Program. They're expecting 150 kids, so that could mean a lot of pajamas if everyone brings just one set.

To date, the number of pajamas we've collected is 1359....... not bad at all, considering that this has all been done on a personal level, without large corporate pajama-donations. Come to think of it, only the Marshalls Store kindly sent me a free shopping certificate, which I immediate took to their store and purchased pajamas.

Three cheers for the Ladies of SLEW...... their generosity is very heart-warming!
