kindess in strangers

I shlepped Wyatt all around town running errands.  We made it to 2 stores today!!  Talk about an accomplishment.  The big goal was to go to the thrift shop.  I am in search of a dresser for Alexis' room and decided if I actually wanted to get one, I had to go out and look for it.  I found it in the first store!  We'll see if it's still there tomorrow when I bring Anthony back.  When we walked into the thrift store I felt like we had walked into a gold mine.  There were treasures EVERYWHERE!  You know how sometimes you walk into a thrift store and you mosey around a little until you walk out empty handed?  Not today.  I don't know if it's because of pinterest giving me this little creative edge and making me able to see past the blemishes and see into the possibilities or what, but there were so many great finds.  While I was piling my arms with picture frames {to later be painted} and Easter decorations, a women volunteer that looked slightly familiar came out from the back carrying a rather large dinosaur.  She stopped at Wyatt, taking one look at him and then back to the dinosaur.  She showed him the magic this toy had.  It talked, it walked, it wagged it's tail.  This was pretty amazing.  She asked him if he wanted it?  Of course he did but he had already picked out a set of rubber stamps.  {Possibly persuaded by me}  He handed me the stamps and willingly took the dinosaur.  The women said she was going to buy it for him so she yelled to the man working behind the counter and said this was on her.  We gathered our belongings and walked up to the register where the women was paying the cashier.  Wyatt was so grateful and very excited about his new dinosaur.  I was thanking the women and at the same time wondering why she looked so familiar to me.  Off she went and when I turned around she was gone.  Poof.  Just like that.  The man was talking to Wyatt about his dinosaur and said how Donna was such a nice lady.  Donna.... that rang a bell.  Now I remembered.  3 years ago while my friends and I were doing a garage sale fundraiser for the Breast Cancer 3-day event, Donna had showed up at our garage sale with a very large check and a box of donuts.  I went back to look for her so I could thank her again but she was gone.  Thank you Donna for your generosity.  You have such a kind heart and have made my sons day!
