The Sunshine Doughnut Lady Delivers

Executive Director Renee Tillman loves her job!

Every Monday through Thursday mid-afternoon, there are 4 gentlemen who sit in the YMCA lobby watching TV after a brief swim, just chatting. I call them "The Guys."

They flirt with me, give me a hard time about anything they can think of, and
thank me for spending time with them every chance I get.

I bring them doughnuts from time to time as I live very close to the Old Town Donuts location in Florissant.

I am now known as the "Sunshine Doughnut Lady."

Yesterday when I came in to work there was a lady sitting with them.  They told her about me bringing in doughnuts.  She asked me where the days’ doughnuts were.

I walked over to the gentlemen and jokingly said, "Guys, you know doughnuts don't grow on trees. I can only bring them so often on my budget."

They immediately went into their wallets and offered to pitch in and pay for
them. “Don't bother, it's my pleasure,” I said. “I was only joking.”

When I came in to work today, I found something special on my desk.

I guess they showed me that doughnuts really do grow on trees...they
even included a coupon with the card!

I love this job!
