A friend of ours came over yesterday to take a look at our computer, and to load a virus program -- or so I thought. Instead, unbeknowest to me, she walks in with a big box, and proceeds to say, "Happy Birthday & an early Merry Christmas!" I'm like, "What?"

"What's going on?" She says, "I bought y'all a new computer." I didn't even know what to say! I was soooo surprised!!

She "inherited" some money from her late husband's veteran benefits (her husband and my s/o were really good friends), and she wanted to share the wealth, so to speak. Both of us were totally surprised: we never even knew it was coming!

There still are some good people left. What a sweetheart!

Bless her heart!!

I'm just so excited & happy to have a new computer!

Now I no longer have to worry about the old one crashing anymore!

It's a load off my mind, that's for sure!

Having a reliable computer means a lot to me since I'm housebound most of the time, b/c it gives me something to do. And also b/c I can "watch" my granddaughter growing up through pix & videos!

It sure restores some of my faith in humanity.

There's so much "bad" news in the world now-a-days that you sometimes wonder if there ARE any good people left!

That now makes two wonderful acts of kindness I've received this week: the computer, and the wonderful 'donation' I received from my "fairy godmother" so I could participate in this year's Secret Santa!

It's something called an "E-Machine". I think it's made by Intel..

But I don't care who makes it! I'm just so thrilled!
