Someone came by to power-wash the siding on our house. We’d previously hired him two years ago, and he seemed quite interested at the time to find out I cleaned typewriters for a living. So, today, as soon as he arrived, he immediately asked how the business was going. After a thorough explanation on my end, he offered his condolences and mentioned how he’d picked up an electric typewriter for his daughter a few months ago for $15, except it was busted; his daughter is a teenager, very artistic, and felt a little let down that the electric didn’t work.
Before he left, I dipped into my inventory and gifted him a refurbished 1966 Re*****on Sherry Rand 24 to surprise his daughter. Just because I’m closed doesn’t mean I can’t still spread the joy. 🙂
