Sweet Surprise

There are several things that Oregon is known for, but customer service ain't one of them. Ok....it may be presumptuous to put the whole state in that category, but it's a fact of life in Eugene & Portland. Since it is so rare to get good service around these here parts, Jody and I tend to make note of being treated as welcomed guest in an establishment. A couple Saturdays ago we went and set up our main baby registry at Fletcher's, a local run baby emporium. That is where I met my new BFF and registry saviour, Nikki. That sweet lady walked us around the entire store helping us decide what we needed and explaining every product as we went along. She was crazy knowledgeable about everything from car seats to pee pee teepees and was never pushy. Anyway, the cherry on top came when she called yesterday to tell me to stop by the store for a pickup. When I got to the store there was a sweet gift wrapped in blue paper from, who else, Nikki. What was inside the box? Well she got us the one item of clothing that Jody specifically requested......

Nikki's kindness really got me thinking......When was the last time I did something nice for someone else? No birthday, anniversary or Christmas......just because I knew it would make someones day.

Hmm....Maybe it's time we all pay it forward.
