A nice way to kick off the holiday season!


Niki and I went out for dinner on Saturday night at Cracker Barrel. It's a favorite restaurant of ours and the food is always good. While we waited behind the 50 people from the tour bus in front of us, we took the opportunity to meet another couple waiting in line. They are from Ohio and are getting ready to retire in the next few years. We made small talk and they told us about geothermal power with windmills - it was pretty cool. We eventually were seated and enjoyed a fine meal. When we were ready for the check the waitress told us that another customer had anonymously paid our bill (we figured it was most likely this couple we described). What a nice gesture and surprise! That has never happened to us before. We decided that we need to pass the favor on to someone else this holiday season in one way or another. Thanks to the kind couple from Cracker Barrel for kicking off the holiday season in such a GREAT way!

What a nice thing to do for someone!!! It made me remember the time a lady paid for my toll in FL! Cracker Barrel is awesome! When we lived in FL, we usually ate breakfast there on New Year's day.

Hey Guys,
We wish we could go out with you two again! I wanted to let you know that I totally dropped the ball on sending your charger, it got lost in the mix. BUT TODAY I will send it out! I promise!

Hope everything is good in Erie, we are just waiting for the baby to come, sooner would be better!

How cool is that? I'm going to make it a goal to do at least one random act of kindness everyday this month.
Thanks for the inspiration!
