The new addition to our house 3/27/2011

Sorry for those who have already heard this story. So Sunday on our way home from church we gained an addition to our house. We were most of the way home, we had turned onto our side street and a car passed us and slowed way down then kept going and pulled into a driveway up the road. The lady came out to get her paper and when we got close to her she asked us if we had a stroller. Spencer said not yet because we had just decided that Elise is getting big and a stroller might be a needed investment to make it easier to get around. The lady then asked if we had very far to get home. Spencer told her that we were almost home and we just had to go up the hill. The lady asked if we wanted a stroller and it seemed like she meant to borrow. Spencer said that we were really fine and then she said that we could have it she didn't want any money for it, it was an extra and we could either use it and return it or we could keep it. She said that she knows kids can get really heavy and that if we wanted it to take it. She was talking to me with this last part and Spencer said that he had to act as translator because I didn't understand everything yet. She was very insistent that he ask me and let me decide. Spencer was glad for this out. I said we were okay but then Spencer told me the part about we could keep it and it was an extra. You could see that the lady really wanted to give it so I said thank you a stroller would be nice. She practically ran to the back of the house to get it. We laughed all the way home, its just not how you usually acquire things. It was very nice of her and the stroller has come in very handy. When we were almost home Spencer looks around and says, "a car would sure be handy". We both laughed and I told him not to push his luck. All I can say is that we must be doing something right or someone is praying in our behalf. We are definitely blessed but then again we always have been.
