Tell Me Something Good: Cooler Full of Cold Drinks To Thank Delivery Drivers
As a result of everyone staying home the last few months it’s safe to say that we’ve all been ordering a lot more online since the pandemic started. Which means these delivery drivers have been working extra hard to get us our packages. Not an easy job, especially with these crazy heat wave temps we’ve had.
As a thank you to these hard working delivery drivers, a very nice person in Missouri decided to leave a cooler on their porch with cold drinks. The best part? Their doorbell cam recorded some of the best reactions from the drivers. Here’s some footage of a UPS guy who was very thankful for the cold beverages.
Power Problems
With a big storm, power outages can certainly follow! Anna & raven share the ONE item they would keep power going to if such a situation arises.

Tell Me Something Good: Pandemic Brings Together Long-Lost Sisters After 50 Years
Despite all the horrible headlines about the pandemic, there are some good stories happening too.
Like these two long-lost sisters who found each other because of the pandemic. 53-year-old Bev Boro works at a health care facility in Fremont, Nebraska. When she saw 73-year-old Doris Crippen’s name on her list of patients she immediately had to find out if that was her sister she’s been searching for. Doris recently beat the virus, and was there recovering at the facility. The two sisters had been trying to track each other down for years now, but hadn’t been able to.
What a great story.
When Doris Crippen was hospitalized with covid-19, she suffered from a broken arm and other complications. But then she discovered one of her aides was her long-lost sister, and it made up for everything.
