Max

The best friend had recently gotten a new barbecue and no longer had a need for her older one. Knowing that we did not have one, she offered to give us her old one. We were excited to be able to cook outdoors during the summer and enjoy barbecued food without having to invite ourselves over to someones house and beg for food. She had told me that they would drop it by before heading to the Strawberry Fest. When she showed up, we went outside to assist. I first noticed that the barbecue was black, and not silver like her old one. I figured that a cover or something was missing. I asked her husband if he had a hard time getting the barbecue off of their two story deck, he gave me a quick chuckle and said, "Nope!". Her husband and son worked hard to load the barbecue into our garage. It did not take long to notice that it was not in fact her old one. IT WAS A BRAND NEW BARBECUE!! What?!

Not only did they buy us a spankin brand new barbecue, but they also got us a gas tank and tools to cook with. They said that their old barbecue was not working and that they wanted to be able to give us one. We had no words and had to pick our jaws up off the ground. No one had ever done something nice like that for us.
