I can breathe (and collect pop tops) in a small town.

The best thing about small towns is that everybody knows your business.

Everybody knowing your bees’ wax can also be the downside. But save that post for another day.

Life is good in a small town — Reason 1037:  Pop Tops.

Backstory:

My son and I are running and raising money for the Ronald McDonald House of Central Georgia.

Our community opened their pocketbooks for our fundraising lemonade stand last August.

When my son and I visited the Ronald McDonald House in Macon this September — I noticed a barrel full of pop tops during our tour.

That’s when I learned about saving them up for the RMHC.

Then I posted something about it on Facebook.

 

 

 

And before I knew it the Cooks brought a bag full to my husband at church.

Then a few days later, I came home from a run on a Saturday morning to find this sitting in a rocker on our porch. Thanks to Dana and Aubie Knight.

And I’ve yet to find out who send these home with my child out Trick-or-Treating last Friday night.  Anyone? Anyone?

Then look what I found today left amongst the leaves and bikes strewn out back of the house.

Selena Swafford dropped these off unannounced. She let me know via FB message that she and her children had been saving them for the Ronald McDonald House.

So just letting you (and most importantly me) know, that goodness and small towns are still thriving in these busy, busy lives we have created.

And yes, feel free to drop your tops off on my porch or back stoop. I’ll be sure to report when we hand them over to Bonnie in Macon.

Small towns verses city. Thoughts?
