30 Great Campgrounds

Friday, August 6th 2010

One day a few weeks back, a lady from another department stopped me to ask a question. "This might sound strange, but do you go camping?" She asked.

"I haven't gone in years until last weekend when we stayed in a cabin at the lake, which wasn't really camping..." I began to answer.

"Well, we just bought a lot of camping supplies and want to take our kids somewhere they can go swimming."

"I'll ask the girl that sits next to me if she has some ideas because she goes with her family every other weekend." I said and went straight back to the source- Miss J. Miss J gave her the info needed and later she told me she made reservations for 2 weekend camping trips.

So today, I was getting ready for work and saw a magazine on my coffee table- "30 Great Campgrounds". Perfect! I'll take this to work and give it to the lady.

Suddenly it was 5pm on Friday afternoon and I still hadn't done anything with the magazine. So I sent an email hoping she'd remember who I was and not think I was someone random offering a magazine to her via email. She replied right away and I took it over to her department. She acted very appreciatively and thankful.

I said, "I don't know how far away these places are but hopefully there are some good ideas at least."

"It will give me a little more knowledge than I have now." She said as I smiled back and walked away. How sweet of a sentence is that?!

Peace :)
