    During these dark times, a little good news

    I just heard these news items and considering what transpired up in Conn. I thought maybe it would bring a little cheer and good joy to you this time of year. If this is a sign of things to come then we are in good hands. It happened here local and when I Googled it, evidently it is happening all across the country. These people are called "layaway Angles". Made my heart feel a little lighter. Hope you enjoy,,,and happy holidays.

    Notice that that first two about paying off lay-ways were from last year. Haven't heard of it this year. What they would have to do was pay off all but a penny so the stuff would stay in lay-away. Still a nice surprise.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    One up at Elkhart was on the local tv news and they showed the guy from a distance (as he wanted to remain anonymous) paying off lay-aways one after another. Kmart said after he was done that he had paid off over $5000. worth of stuff so people could have Christmas for their kids.
