Thatcher was walking around downtown Rockport with some friends after school yesterday when they were asked to guard a package by a gentleman on Bearskin Neck. I’m proud of him for knowing that he should call me and make sure that sounded “ok.” He told me the story, told me he was with two friends, and that they were outside in a public area…. he also explained that the man was leading his girlfriend on a scavenger hunt and that she’d be by within 30 minutes to find that package before moving on to her next surprise. I made Thatch send me a photo of the package. It was a swan, with a note, in a nice little bundle.
Sure as anything, about 20 minutes later, a woman came by, discovered the package, read the note, and continued on her way. Thatcher decided it felt too creepy to snap a photo of her. Sigh.
At any rate, kudos to the man for arranging such a fun afternoon for his girlfriend. He was kind enough to even give Thatch and his friends some money to split for making sure that no one else took off with his swan.
I hope the afternoon was everything that he expected it to be! Was there a proposal at the end? I wish we knew! Are congratulations in order? I hope so!
I’m not so sure about the duct tape though.
Good Morning Gloucester
