To celebrate generosity and to give back to our community, The Customer Care Center at Renown Health volunteered at the Food bank of Northern Nevada recently, separating and boxing up food to be delivered to people in need. The Food Bank of Northern Nevada provides food to 103,000 people in our area each month.

Three generous scoops of ice cream--chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla--topped with gooey hot fudge, chopped peanuts, fresh whipped cream, and a brightly colored cherry is a delectable treat sure to complement any outfit, and it makes a wonderful gift for ice cream lovers or anyone who's counting down to the lazy days of summer.
The handmade yellow plate is 3/4" in diameter. The bowl and all food items are also handmade from polymer clay, and the silver plated ring is adjustable for a comfortable fit on a range of sizes.

I'm not cheating, Until I get a worthwhile picture taken today, this is just a stand in.
After we had finished our paella on Sunday, the Spaniards at the fiesta gave us some of their desserts including this sandia (water melon) which had been very artfully cut to form a flower shape.
It was very kind of them and the melon was delicious. As you can see it doesn't have many pips which saved the usual fiddling to remove them.
So we both are very generous, giving individuals...especially with each other. Whether it is food, computer time, camera gear, etc....it doesn't matter, we share it all.
HOWEVER....when it comes to desserts we like to be a bit selfish. Such was the case tonight!!!! We were having ICE CREAM....... I wanted mine but I also wanted his. As you can see from his expression (what you can see of it), he isn't to happy that I want his also.
I thought you were supposed to share all things with the one you love.
Apparently, that DOES NOT include ones ice cream.....LOL

Chinatown is generous with information. There are many stanchions like this one. They are difficult to read while standing in the sun. I've transcribed this one:
Victorian Remains
The houses at 411 and 415 Bernard Street—today home to the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California and Chinatown heritage and Visitors Center—were once part of a three-home complex built by Philip Fritz. An immigrant from Alsace, Fritz worked first as a carpenter then as superintendent of buildings and bridges for the Southern Pacific Railroad. (The original grant deed for the property was held by Jean Bernard, a native of French Switzerland, who owned a nearby brickyard. The street on which these houses sit still bears his name.) In 1886, Fritz built his first home on the property. As his family grew, he added two more in 1888 and 1892. In the 1930’s when the street was widened to make way for a freeway onramp, two of the houses were moved back fifteen feet. The third house was relocated to the corner of Wilshire Boulevard and Normandie Avenue, where it became a part of a demonstration housing modernization program sponsored by the Los Angeles Times and the Federal Housing Administration. Louise Fritz Whiting lived in one of the houses her grandfather built on Bernard St. until her death in 1992 at age 100.
"The trustees of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on behalf of all who visit and enjoy this building devoted to mediaeval art inscribe this testimony of gratitude to John D. Rockefeller Junior, whose generosity has made it possible to give reality to the past."

(Funny how they used MDCCCCXXXVIII instead of MCMXXXVIII)
As the sign reads:
Looking for Lincoln
This exhibit was made possible through a generous gift from: The City of Danville
Lincoln's Danville Friends
The center of town, during the time of Lincoln's years in Danville, was located in a range from Franklin Street in the west, to Washington Street in the east, bordered by Harrison Street in the north and Water Street to the south. The map at left shows the following locations, represented by either a photograph of the friend or the building: (1) Oliver Davis Home, North Vermillion Street; (2) First Presbyterian Church, North Street; (3) Rev. Enoch Kingsbury Home, South Walnut Street; (4) Lincoln Hall, West Main Street; (5) Oscar F. Harmon Home, East Main Street.
Not All of Abraham Lincoln's Time Was Spent on Legal Business
When in Danville. He visited his friend Oliver L. Davis in his home on Vermillion Street. They were associated in several court cases. Davis was a floor manager at the Chicago convention when Lincoln was nominated for the Presidency. Lincoln attended Father Enoch Kingsbury's Presbyterian Church on North Street and visited in his home. Here he found a stereopticon quite interesting. He appointed Kingsbury postmaster when elected President. Lincoln whiled away hours in Doctor Woodbury's drug store on Main Street. He lounged on the counter and entertained everyone with his stories. He purchased books at the store, including the "funny book" of the day titled Phoenixiana. Woodbury built a large building in 1857 and named it Lincoln Hall. When he learned the name of the building, Lincoln was a little "embarrassed" and told Woodbury he hoped he had better luck with the building than a friend did with a dog named in his honor. He said, "After the dog's name was changed to Lincoln, he got licked in every fight he was in."
Lincoln and Oscar F. Harmon
Were involved in a number of court cases together. Lincoln was his mentor when the young lawyer was elected to the Illinois House of Representatives. Lincoln visited in the Harmon home on Main Street and became acquainted with the entire family. Oscar's wife, Elizabeth, recalled an instance when Lincoln requested her daughter to play piano. While she played, the other guests became so noisy that the young girl stopped. Lincoln, standing by the piano, told her, " Go on, my child, don't mind those other fellows, I', listening to you." Oscar F. Harmon was killed during the Civil War at the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain. Lincoln did all he could to assist the family following the Colonel's death. When Lincoln was assassinated, a lock of his hair was given by his family to Elizabeth Harmon.
Season of Generosity Event on Saturday, November 3, 2018.
This year during the First Baptist Church of Elkhart's
Season of Generosity, they decided instead of funding
a worthy cause, they would give of themselves; they wanted
to do something to help the community. They chose to give service to the Town of Bristol
by cleaning gravestones and raking leaves at Bristol's Oak Ridge Cemetery.
Bristol Town Manager Michael Mitchell wrote: "Fantastic morning with dozens
of volunteers. Thank you so much for your time and energy to make Bristol
a great community. It was an honor to work with such caring people."

US: Now add a generous amount of thick slip / paste on the base and press the jump-ring firmly. here I used the end of a paint-brush. Do this with each jump ring : one at each end and one in the middle, depending on your shape.
FR: Appliquer une quantité généreuse de pâte liquide (= colle) et appuyer fermement avec l'aide d'un outil - ici la pointe d'un pinceau. Faire cela avec chaque anneau: un à chaque extrêmité du pendentif, et un au centre, en fonction de la forme de la base.

The Kindness Offensive volunteers at TEDx at The Open University before their big suprise of handing out gifts.
Generosity week ran from February 24th to March 2nd 2014 at USF as a way for students to give thanks for the generosity of all the donors that contribute to the University of San Francisco.
The week started with a Generosity Food Truck Kickoff, a “Thank You” banner signing and a chance for students to meet the student philanthropy committee.
Could you imagine USF without any of these buildings or statues?
Lo Schiavo Science
75% of the cost of LCSI was funded by 3,407 donors. Gifts ranged in size from $2 to $10 million, from Alumni, Faculty, Staff, Parents, Friends, Foundation and Corporations.
Gleeson Library
The library has received over 4,000 donations from Alumni, Students, Faculty, Staff, Parents, Friends, Foundations and Corporations. Some of the books in Gleeson Library were donated to USF by students like you, through previous Senior Class Gift campaigns.
Kalmanovitz Hall
K-Hall was renovated in 2008, which was made possible by over 1,200 gifts from people like you. The Kalmanovitz Charitable Foundation has continued to support your USF experience as one of the University’s generous supporters.
Cowell Hall
The renovation and update of Cowell Hall in 1995 was made possible in part by the S.H. Cowell Foundation. Many additions, within Cowell Hall were made possible by gifts from people like you.
Malloy Hall
Renovated in 2004, this building is named for our current Chair of the Board of Trustees, Tom Malloy ’61 and his family. Their generosity helped make this building possible.
Runner Statue
Students like you made this statue possible. The Runner Statue was made possible by the USF class of 1986, who raised over $8000 as part of their Senior Class Gift.
Leona and Dominic Tarantino Plaza
This plaza is named for Leona and Dom’54 Tarantino, alumni and trustee emeriti. Their generosity helped to make this space possible.
Koret Health and Recreation Center
Without the support of the Koret Foundation, USF would not have this Garden Courtyard, the Koret Gym, or the Koret Law Center. Without their generosity, many spaces at USF would not be possible.
Two generous and silky, hardly cooked, filets of ocean trout topped with shredded cucumbers. The two filets sit on an unctuous pita puree and cruncy falafel spiced-crumbles. The french fry-like sticks in the back are made of tomatos and chickpeas. ($29)
Notes: This course was as much about texture as it was about flavor. The ocean trout was barely cooked - in fact, I suspect it had been sous vide (but it's technically illegal right now in NYC). The fish was impossibly silky - it had the consistancy of slightly cured fish. Wonderful.
The tomato-chickpea fries were kind of mushy and awful, consistency-wise. The pita puree as well had a baby-food-like quality - although the flavor, especially with the crispy crouton-like falafel-spiced crumbles was quite nice.
Taste: All very Middle-Eastern flavors: smoky, spicy, musky...
