The last few days have been completely nuts---the loss of Maggie's Elmo, the breaking of our double stroller, the busting down of our front door (long story which does not include robbers or murderers), and the loss of Ellie's beloved blanket aka "manklet".
It's been sad times in the Paulk household--which has Maggie now clinging to a stuffed pig and Ellie picking a new substandard lovie. That is until this morning.
Georgia, our annoying, yet lovable dog, begged nonstop for walk which usually I take her on. This morning, I wanted a quick walk and not our usual 2 mile course, but i gave in and we took the 2 mile route. As we were taking our stroll, I said a little prayer that we migtt find the "mankel" (another nickname for the blanket). As as we were rounding the home stretch, I stopped to look at a neighbor's really beautiful flowers, when out of the corner of my eye, I see it....MANKELT! Someone had neatly folded this dirty, ragged blanket (it is always dirty by the way) and hung it neatly across someone's front gate. WOW!
I CAN'T WAIT to see the joy in Ellie's eye when I show her MANKEL and to share with her the random kind act that a stranger did...just for her.
