One of the biggest fundraisers is Wrapping for Inclusion where local groups set up gift-wrapping stations and wrap Christmas gifts each year for donations.

I can't travel without A flat bed pillow

My neck is so short that most bed pillows in a hotel are too big for me. So I carry a flatter one from home. I had a favorite, but it eventually wore out, LOL!

When I realized I was a grown-up

I think the first time I realized I was an adult is when I was babysitting an infant out of town and I could not get the infant to stop crying. I tried everything-and I called home., but it didn't really help except to have a sympathetic ear. It was the first time I had to solve a problem without my parents stepping in to solve it. I was alone and scared, but I and the child survived.What about you? When did you first realize you were a grown-up?
