8/3/13 Car Wash

Jeff Revell of Sussex Lumber in Millsboro was kind enough to lend us his parking lot to have a car wash on August 3.  Thanks Jeff, and thanks for the donation.

We may not have washed a ton of cars, but we made some new friends today. Late in the afternoon, a young man drives up. We thought for a moment he was one of the many vehicles who were using Sussex Lumber's parking lot to take a short cut to avoid the back up at Rt 113. But he actually wanted his truck washed -a clean black '98 Chevy (yes, ironic, isn't it?). The kid was super friendly, and in no time, we realized he was Gunner, son of a classmate of mine. We all chatted a while, and he told us about his lawn care, auto detailing, and deer dressing businesses (Gunner is very ambitious.) It was one of the highlights of our day.

We also had a former band mom from Indian River stop in. Her daughter is now with the U of D Marching Band.

The whole day made me think of all the times I've driven by a bunch of kids washing cars to raise money for their organization.  We are stopping at the next one we see.

Thanks Band Kids. I know there are other things you could have been doing. 

Washing cars is just an excuse to meet people like Gunner.
