Just thought I would share something that happened a few days ago when we were in Maine...
We heard about a great restaurant called JR Maxwells (I think). Anyway, on the way there we got really lost and turned around, and seemed to be driving in circles. So, as we were coming up one street, there was a woman walking a dog (a skipperke (sp?) named Skippy). I suggested that we ask her for directions. She got this really funny look on her face and she said, "I work there!" She gave us awesome directions and we found it in 5 minutes (or less).
So, we ordered the food to go, and while we waited, I wrote her a thank you note. I even addressed it "to the woman with the dog named Skippy" because I didn't know her name, and enclosed a $10 bill. Basically, I said something to the effect of "thank you for the great directions. You truly made a frustrating situation so much easier, and we appreciate your kindness. Sincerely, Mark & Anna, the lost & wandering travelers from NH"
I then asked the manager if he knew who the woman would be and he told me her name. I asked him if he would give the note to her, and he assured me that he would.
So, I wonder now, if she got it and if she was surprised. I just thought it would be really neat to make someone's day, when they totally didn't expect it.
Has anyone else ever done this or had something like this done fo them???
