The Honor Was Mine...

Back in 2009 during the volcanic eruption in Iceland , there was a group of British travelers that had spent 2 days stuck at JFK airport. I got a call from a realtor in our area that specializes in vacation rentals. For some reason , they ended up getting a rental house in the beach town that we work in. They needed to have linens and towns for the beds. At this point, they didn’t even know how long it would be until they could fly back home because so many flights had been canceled.
Since I knew they wouldn’t have a car and the place they were staying didn’t have much in terms of places to get groceries , my daughter and I went out and bought all kinds of food and also some American beer and wine.
I wanted to just leave it on the deck of the home without them seeing us , but they were arriving at the same time we did.
They were so grateful that someone thought about them and made their unexpected layover in the USA a little more comfortable
