165 - "Saint Val Of Blessed Transport"


I would like to present another in what is becoming a series of "Stained Glass Saints."  These are people who have gone way beyond what we would expect in terms of helping us out.

Pictured here is Val, who deserves to be a saint on account of her uncommon generosity.  Recently, when we were contemplating renting a car for some extended travel, Val offered her own vehicle free of charge or complaint.  This kind and selfless act saved us several hundred dollars, which is money we can use to balance our budget for the year. 

Also, Val turned out to be a dab hand at hair henna, transforming my wife with a wave of her wooden spoon into the crimson-haired bombshell she is today (until the henna washes out, anyways).  Heck, I am almost even tempted to colour out my grey hairs, but that is a story for another day. 

We are most grateful to Val, who was very kind in helping us out at a time when we could use it.
