It's Not Just Boy Scouts Who Do Good Deeds

We've been writing this blog for a while - opining about all the "things we love about Vienna" - about the restaurants, the music scene, the great sledding hills, the history & more. The list is really endless and we'll continue to post here about the "things we love about Vienna". But more important than any of those "things" are the PEOPLE of Vienna. They are just good-hearted, grounded, fun-loving, down-to-earth folks who make you happy to know them.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about...

We're currently experiencing record-breaking snowfall, along with high winds.



What was originally being called "Snowmageddon" is now being called a "Blizzaster". And what started out as an adventure, is now turning into something more concerning - especially for older folks who can't get in or out of their homes.



So this week, one of my neighbors asked around for names & addresses of senior citizens that we might know in the area. She then contacted the landscaping company she uses and set the wheels in motion for their crews to clear the driveways of older folks who couldn't do so themselves.

Not only did she follow through on her plan, but she did so anonymously and at her own expense. Like a beautiful Fairy Godmother waving her magic wand. At least that's how I pictured her actions.

Thanks Neighbor! We'll let you remain anonymous, but boy are we are grateful to have neighbors like you!

P.S. This is another one of our neighbors. He qualifies as "fun-loving". Why else would he be out biking in this weather? All we have to say is "SnOMG!"



P.P.S. to our local Boy Scouts who also do good deeds. Congratulations on your 100th Anniversary which you celebrated this week! Don't forget to look for the new Boy Scouts of America Centennial Coin which the U.S. Mint will start producing this month.)
