Last eve on his way home from work, DH stopped at Papa Murphy's to buy a pizza. The woman in front of him, after getting her order filled, turned around and handed him a container of Papa Murphy's chocolate chip cookie dough! That was really sweet of her! I just added some walnuts and baked them and they are delish! In our minds, we will thank her as we eat them.
It made about 16.............just enough for 2 servings. :laff:
One funny thing........in big red letters at the bottom of the baking instructions was
"Caution......Hot Once Baked." haha........maybe people don't eat fresh-baked cookies enough to know they're hot when they come out of the oven?
Anyhow.........thank you whoever you are!!

Random acts - lots of those have been in the news this holiday season. My kids who are struggling a bit right now with their finances received a Christmas card with five 50 dollar bills from an anonymous friend!

K-mart is experiencing people paying off other's Christmas Layaways! Another person was passing out $ 50.00 bills in the aisles!

Big or small, random acts of kindness are nice to recieve and to give. It may just be letting someone go ahead of you in line at the grocery store, or trying to pull out onto a busy street, etc.

...ahhh fresh warm cookies -- so good, in our house, it probably would be a singe serving!!

We have a bunch of toll bridges in the Bay Area, and though now a lot of people (including us) use a Fastrak transponder, it used to be a cash-only thing for tolls.

Every once in awhile, some stranger ahead of us would pay our toll. It was such a surprise to get up to the toll booth and be told that our toll was already paid. We would talk about it all day. So, we started doing that ourselves, for the stranger behind us, occasionally. What fun!

Lovely stories! Good to hear, and motivation to keep it going. What's that trendy term? Pay it forward? is that a correct usage?
