To all you anonymous elves

I sometimes get donations through the mail from anonymous sources. People have all sorts of reasons for wanting to stay anonymous and I completely understand. It just makes it impossible to say a direct thank you.

I know that they probably would say, "Our thanks is seeing the smiles of the elder people petting a llama or goat...or seeing an old pony running in jingle bells."

There is much to be disturbed by in any life, in any era of history, but in these times I especially am gratified that people-and even strangers- are paying attention to a little farm floating off the coast of Maine, just trying to make elder people smile with a goat in a Love Mobile and bring some comfort to old and needy animals. So to those who send anonymous gifts out of retirement funds or other sources, thank you, it is so appreciated and wisely used.

The animals probably know who you are.
