Just Good Girls:)

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you....Kindness, like a boomerang, always returns....
presents for us:)
The girls are gone and as usual I am feeling sad.  I get this way whenever anyone leaves and especially when they have been so kind, considerate and thoughtful.   Before this month, we knew nothing of them or about them, but for the last 5 weeks we found out so much about them and both Arvid and I were very impressed with their attitude and their kindness.

 It's not like I have not come across kind people, we do all the time.  It's just that these girls made an impression because they were so young and so considerate.   Like many girls this age they were also self sufficient and very capable, but was impressed us was their skills, their attitude, their lack of fear to try things out....

Today they left.  Arvid and I went to the house to clean and it hit me...so quiet.  The quietness always causes me a moment of sadness when loved ones leave....but what really gave me a moment of thought was again their thoughtfulness.    Many have come and gone from The Fur House and with some exceptions,  we never expected these girls to actually be so appreciative and to actually show it so much.
was a pleasure having you

When we got to the Fur House, I was very surprised to see a thank you card, presents for Brutus and for Arvid and I.   It surprised me, we did not expect this, but just the thought and for me the card was thank you enough.  Sometimes the kindest expression comes from people you least expect it from.  The quotation at the bottom is what I think of the girls and of their kindness...

I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again....

until next time...
