nice things

seem to happen to me.

i was not able to find the junior brannock device any other way, and slim pickings on ebay. so i asked one of the merchants to give me a "buy it now" price. i normally don't do that, but i needed it to take with me to the orphanage.

here's his reply:

hello and thanks for your fast payment on the shoe sizer.

I sent it today, saturday so for sure it will arrive by the 26-27th december.

I also included some unused gift paper and an unused, still in package paper table cloth for you to take to the orphanage if you have room and think the children will like it.

Thanks very much for doing what you do!

Sincere regards,

this guy doesn't know me and doesn't know the children i'm working with.

so here's a bit of information for you that i didn't know before starting this quest. those foot measure things (brannock devices) which i always thought were just one thing, are actually 3 different ones. one for men, one for women and one for children. figures! i had to buy all 3 as our orphans range in age from 5 to 18.

but what a blessing it will be to be able to measure their feet correctly. there is a MUCH bigger selection of shoes here in the states than down in their country. we will be able to buy with confidence now.
