Ten dollars, a copy store, and one really nice lady :)

One of my posts from last May is about the crisis in Africa. I was cleaning out a drawer the other day and came across some of the information I sent out. I was keeping track of the cost of my little project. The day I went to make the copies there was a women using the copy machine next to me. She noticed that I was making copies of some pictures that were difficult to look at, and she asked me what it was about. I told her briefly what I was doing and she reached into her purse and handed me a ten dollar bill. She told me that she wanted to help with the cost because she thought I was doing a great thing, and she wanted to be a part of it. I told her that she didn't need to give me any money, but she insisted I take it. I thought it was so great that she really cared about what I was doing. My mom and Ashley thought I was nuts. I received a few replies to my letter. The only reply I received from another country was from Prince Andrew, the Duke of York. I don't know how many people actually received and read my letter. I knew I would be happy if only one person took the time to read it. It was worth every penny, and every second of my time. It was really nice to know that at least one person didn't think I was nuts. Meeting that really nice lady at the copy store made my week. Every one have a good day :) P.S. I had to keep this envelope. It's the only envelope I will ever get that has Royal Mail stamped on it. I want to stamp my mail with it. I'm kidding.
