Great story Lil. I'm amazed anyone these days even wants to shovel snow. The other week, Ghosty and I were moving into our apartment, which has a very long flight of stairs leading into it. I had needed to purchase a new TV, which we barely could get into my car, let alone up the stairs. Neither of us have great backs at our age and my knees are completely shot. He "swore" he could get it upstairs himself, and I was very upset over the thought of it. Men, you know how they are. As we drove up to the apartment, a very strapping looking man happened to walk by. We looked at each other, and had the same exact thought without saying words. I asked the guy if he wanted to make a quick $20, and help us bring the tv upstairs? Well, turns out he was a local guy, down on his luck, out of work and was just walking the street kind of bummed out and depressed. He was SO grateful and more than happy to help. By the time he got it upstairs, I handed him and extra $20 - I felt so bad for him and frankly, had we had the TV delivered (which I wanted to do originally) it would have cost way more than that anyway. I was just happy that Ghosty didn't have to drag it upstairs himself and would have paid anything for someone to be there with extra hands - and well, there this guy was like magic. Funny thing was his first name was the same as Ghosty's. Both of us felt like he was put there for us, and he felt the same way as he really was in dire straights financially at that moment. We haven't seen hide nor hair of him since... Sounds like you were each others' guardian angels.  |

I can never refuse a Godfather quote. Yeah. looks like I'm going to be playing house again. At least it's an excuse to go furniture shopping.Thanks Gabi, I'm sure there will be a late night visit from you in my future now. Thanks also the ThreeR and Amara I think it was, who offered me spaces as well. *Flowers* |

I was going to say that you're today's winner with this, Elora. But then you and Lil come up with really great stories. So either it's a three way tie between you, you, and Lil or you win for posting 2 out of 3 day's best. One user agrees. |

And apparently Maureen is winning that one today, nobody even dared to take that away from her  _____________________

Well in a day or two, hopefully the newbie troll will be gone and someone can start another more classy Christmas Freebies thread. I didn't know about the huge holiday tree and Backing Cupcakes was a very pleasant surprise.

There are lots of flowers in this garden. Hugs those are so pretty. Very pretty flowers, always looking for photos of flowers to draw. Did you take those Maureen can I doodle them? /FD was peeking at the Freebie Christmas thread, definitely looks like someone has the Christmas spirit  Sends hugs to Honeybear and anyone else who needs one and wanders back to his nap on his private island._____________________

But, I have such wonderful friends that I won't let it bother me Yep, Good friends and those who care, stand up are you very nice Friends who care and value us are best gift to have better then any Christmas Freebie or present. I am grumpy and bitter but gee I hope I never get that bitter and act like that. Feel free to send me to the bad kid corner if I ever act that grumpy and lash out. Friends and being good to others is still important to me even when I am grumpy. _____________________

Did I post pictures from the Great Wall? I have the vague recollection that I did, but I am not certain. Neat place, thanks Brann.
