Our family was out together in Gays Mills, WI for the annual apple festival. We have a special connection to the area and especially Starry Ridge Orchard which was owned in the past by my husband’s grandfather. Walking the rows and picking apples from trees he planted and tended is a wonderful tradition for us as a family. We make gifts for our extended family who live all over the country from the apples and share the family connection to such a beautiful part of the world. When my husband went to pay for our apples(two bushels) he was told that one bushel had already been paid for. A family had paid for five bushels, and he gave us the card about Derek and paying the kindness forward. We were very moved by this and look forward to paying the kindness forward ourselves.
