Carol dropped the bike and helmet off yesterday.
Turns out it is not technically a Toys For Tots deal, it is a local Christmas for kids thing - which I like even more. In other words it is aimed at Henniker kids whose families need help.
Carol told me that previously but it didn't sink in with me because, essentially, I don't listen that well when she talks. She talks a lot.
So we have that and our upcoming donations to the Henniker Food Pantry. I like keeping it local - we have lived in this town for 34 years and have loved every minute of it. Even now. It feels good to give back.
Anyway.................
She said they went crazy when she walked in with the bike. They have a box filled with stuffed animals and board games - the guy said that a very lucky kid is gonna get an awesome present. They were psyched.
Obviously that is what we are aiming at - making a kid's day extra special.
So that's where it ends. Honestly we would LOVE to see that kid's face on Christmas morning but it will not happen. And it shouldn't.
We are not looking for credit or thank you or any kind of recognition.
But I gotta tell you it is an amazing feeling.
Doing good things could become addictive.
Who knew?
