Reflecting on the celebration of my November 13, 2021, birthday month. Check out Facebook for all of the month's postings! From November 1, 2021, until November 30, 2021, I posted a tidbit that is reflected in this post.

WOW! November 30 is here, and it has been a journey!
As a long-time resident of Mount Rainier and a homeowner, it is important to me that municipal government be inclusive of all of its residents.
It is equally important that information be communicated through all possible channel so that residents can get involved.
It is also important for residents to volunteer and serve on committees, commissions, boards and task forces.
I truly believe that municipal government is the government closes to the people, and as such should be easily accessible.

The MISSING CVS Shopping Carts!
My story and I am sticking to it!
Went to the CVS this morning. First time out shopping in ages. Walked through the front door, turned to get a basket, NO SHOPPING CART Where are the shopping carts or baskets? The clerk says, "People stole them." WHAT?
The manager came rushing over because she thought something had happened because of my very loud outburst. We explained that I was surprised that people had stolen all of their baskets. She said, "Ma'am, we have ordered shopping carts and baskets three times in the past several months. It takes months to get them and weeks for people to take them. There are no tracking devices on them, the wheels no longer freeze up, and the days of the long poles are gone. Thus, people just walk out with the shopping carts or baskets and KEEP GOING!"
Yep, I was at WOW! Is that what we do now? It is okay to just take other people's property and inconvenience everyone else, and it is all right! REALLY! I know we are BETTER THAN THAT. I know that even if we don't go to church, don't believe in God, have no home training, and have no respect for others, we have got to know that stealing, i.e., taking something that does not belong to you, is WRONG.
After listening and talking with the manager of CVS, I
promised to post a request for the return of the shopping carts and baskets and
to share this story on my Facebook pages.
First of all, we need to return the shopping carts and baskets because they did not belong to whoever took them no matter the reason, they took them.
Secondly, the seniors, like me, use the shopping carts to
hold us up while walking around the store.
Thirdly, there are other seniors and young people who NEED them because of physical conditions. Have you ever noticed that there are no motorized chairs in CVS? Have you seen the number of people on canes or walkers?
Finally, every time CVS or any other story have to replace
the shopping carts and baskets, the cost of their products also goes up, AND
staff decreases to cover the cost and overhead.
SO HERE IS THE DEAL, if you see a shopping cart or basket, PLEASE RETURN IT or call our local CVS at Queenstown Shopping Center and let them know where the shopping cart or basket can be found.
Please talk to your family, friends, and neighbors about the need for the shopping carts and baskets to remain at the store so that others may use them.
Finally, report sightings of people pushing those shopping carts out of the parking lot. We all KNOW THAT THEY DO NOT OWN those shopping carts. When they take the shopping carts out of the parking lot, they know that they are stealing, you know that they are stealing, and so does everyone else, and it is WRONG!

GIVING TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2021
GIVING TUESDAY, November 30, 2021is fast approaching. Both of our elementary schools need supplies for other teachers. I reached out to them and received a list of items that are needed.
I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would help me meet
their needs during this holiday season. NOTE: The thought occurs to me (Kelley
Bevis and I had the same idea last year) that we could and probably should
collect these items all year round. We know the schools will need them, and we
can get them when they are on sale. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would
help me meet their needs during this holiday season.
Here is the list:
- Clorox disinfecting wipes
- children disposable masks
-- hand sanitizer
- electric pencil sharpeners
- Pencil boxes or pouches for kids
-- number 2 pencils
-- construction paper
-- composition tablets
- Jumbo crayons for Pre-K and K students
- Backpacks are always helpful since we do give those year-round
and to new students as well
Additional needs
- Winter coats boys size 7/8, 10/12. 14/16 and girls size
7/8, 10/12, 14/16
-- girls and boys underwear K - 3rd grade
- I would like to start storing some diapers and wipes here
in my parent resource room if available.
Small incentives that can be given to children to encourage
them to do their best or reward them when they do. INEXPENSIVE PLEASE.
ALL DONATIONS may be dropped off to me or to Ms. Jasmine
Washington at Mount Rainier Elementary School or Ms. Celeste Valencia. NOTE: I
prefer receiving them and making one or more large deliveries, but mainly want
to help our schools and our children be successful in our schools.
Your employers may also wish to help our schools, so DDO NOT FORGET TO ASK THEM FOR DONATION OF SOME OF THESE ITEMS.

Veterans Day Discounts and Deals
Veterans Day will always be special for me because so many Brown/Washington family members have served this Country -- the United States of America. The earlier ones served when discrimination was at its highest, and those they served with valor and gallant, there was never any recognition.
Many of the older (and a few of the younger ones) military members of the Brown/Washington family are now deceased and never enjoyed many of the amenities offered to veterans today.
Our family members have served in almost every war that faced this County, and we, the Brown/Washington family and its descendants, are very PROUD of each one of them.
Here is a list of places that will be recognizing veterans on November 11, 2021. Make your plans now, and enjoy some of the offerings.
