Vee, how wonderfully heartwarming your tale of today is! People can be soooooooo great. This reminded me of what my parents always had me do years ago in Missouri, when I was a teenager. I scooped not only the all of the sidewalks at our house, but also those of my grandaunt (who lived next door and was widowed) and my grandparents (who lived in the next block). To this day, I am glad that my parents taught me this way to help some people I loved dearly. It also help me to learn to be thoughtful of others. Leslie

Even though I can't remember my parents actually "teaching" me such values, in retrospect I know that I was following what my own parents did. Family and neighbors were very important and whatever they needed they got from our family. That's what family and neighbors did for each other. vee
