Thank you so much the the wonderful guy that stopped at my house on Hallowe’en to offer me a peanut-butter cup!!
I had put a sign on the window saying “Sorry, no candy guys – Have fun tonight!” and he felt sorry that I had no candy! So kind!
Friend, I’m sorry I did not accept your cup! What you couldn’t see from the stoop was that I had just absentmindedly shaken a very full 2L bottle of cranberry juice, while failing to realise that the lid wasn’t on tightly. How fitting that on Hallowe’en my kitchen ended up looking like a bloodbath.
Anyhow, I was very much in shock when you came to the door and I just wanted to tell you how lovely you are for sharing with strangers!! ♥ Thank you! —Hil
