It is so funny watching people. They’re taking pictures of us. They’re smiling, they’re waving it all started with *** daughter who loved giraffes. I was redecorating my daughter’s bedroom and I ordered it online and when it came, I took it out of the box and it happened to be in the garage sitting next to an older convertible that we had. And I just thought, gee, I bet that looks funny in the back seat. She drove the giraffe around the block and watched the neighborhood kids light up. She realized then that this could be an easy way to bring joy to others. She came and said, oh, you gotta do. So I ain’t driving around with no giraffe in the car, Sally and then she, oh, you just gotta try. So I tried it once and I was hooked 15 years later. Sprinkles. The giraffe hits the road every single time the couple does. He is as much *** part of the car as the steering wheel, you definitely drive safe because you know, if you cut someone off, they are going to remember that you were in *** red convertible with *** giraffe and they’re going to find you. Why do you do it to share blessing? I mean, really, that’s what it’s all about. Just sharing blessing, making people smile. And in one special case, they tell me that sprinkles helped *** grieving family large SUV pulled up beside us. They said we just came from *** funeral and we’ve been crying for three days and this is the first time we’ve smiled. So that made us, that’s why we do it. Making Colorado Springs *** better place. One drive at *** time. You know, some people have the gift of singing. Some have the gift of art, bless other people. We have the gift of driving around with *** draft in the back seat of the convertible. I love it.
