Ringers
A couple weeks ago my family and I went to the local mall to run some errands and shop a little while for new books. As we were making our way through the parking lot I heard some bells ringing. I figured that it was probably some group ringing bells for the salvation army, which it was. The only thing that surprised me was that instead of the conventional red apron, the people were wearing army uniforms. I ventured over to where they were standing, on the sidewalk in front of the mall, and deposited a couple dollars in their pot. I received a couple friendly smiles, so I mention how nice their military clothing was. They replied that it was really comfortable and they could be purchased online. If I ever find myself in need of military clothing, I’ll know where to find it. The shopping turned out to be a success as well and I got a cool new book!
