The visitors we had yesterday, found our website while surfing the net! When they saw we were located in Kirkland, Illinois, they became very excited. They live in Elgin, Illinois, & their son had just MOVED to Kirkland! These people showed up with a huge box containing laundry soap, bleach, and every jar of turkey baby food the store had!!! They brought pictures of their own babies to share, & we had a WONDERFUL visit! I introduced them to many of the little ones they had seen on the website. They were here between 2 1/2 -3 hours, & the time literally FLEW by! I was sorry to see them leave, but they assured me they will be back! Their son will be coming for a visit too!! As we left the ferret room, & proceeded into the kitchen, the lady reached into her purse, & handed me an envelope with "Zoo" on the outside. She explained that she worked at the casino in Elgin. Inside was a beautifully done note, with the sweetest ferret pictures on it, and a gingerbread man border, all around it. It read: "Happy Holidays from the Cocktail Servers and Bartenders at the Grand Victoria Casino in Elgin, Il." It was full of cash. I am so touched--I know how hard these people work for their money--and they had taken up a collection. They sent their tips to Zoo`s to help care for our babies. May God bless our new friends, and these wonderful people I have never even met... Love, Zoo website addy; www.zoosferretsanctuary.com=20 [Posted in FML issue 4357]
