Dear Editor:
After all the dishonesty, meanness and sad things that are happening in this time and day, I would like to point something nice out to you.
Recently, I went to the Walden Lake Car Wash in Plant City to get my usual for my car. As always, I get greeted with the biggest smile and friendliest “howdy do” by the nicest man in the world. I can always count on him for making me feel very welcome. I am so sorry that I don’t even know his name, but he is always there and always cheerful.
So here is my little story:
I visited my friend in Dade City and took her some rose bushes she had requested. She insisted on paying me, and I insisted for her not to. So, we dropped it. Today, I get a phone call from her asking me if my little dog, Petra, gave me the money that she had stashed in her car seat. (Yes, I have a car seat for my dog!)
Then, my light came on. When I left the car wash, I found a $20 bill in my console that was not there before. Befuddled and wondering where it came from, I just put it in my wallet. It must have dropped to the floor in the back seat, when I picked up my little chihuahua.
I really want to acknowledge the honesty of the staff that works at the Walden Lake Car Wash. One does not find this kind of thing often any more.
