Take Note of this Surprise

(I wrote this in January...sorry for the delay.)

Once again, I am back to pushing a pun to its limits.  Before you finish reading this post, you will see what I mean.

But first, the preface. 
We came home from our 10 day CA visit and discovered this parked next to our garage:

Hmmm, we thought.  What's that doing there?  And, of course, answering our own question, we decided someone had run out of gas or broken down, and had parked it out of the way, close to its point of defection.  And without any other thought, we imagined that someone would come and collect it.  It thus, became part of the woodwork, and we ceased to even notice it. 

Wednesday Grover came into the living room and handed me a piece of paper.  It was typewritten like this:

THIS MACHINE IS PRETTY ROUGH LOOKING AND SOMEWHAT BEATEN UP BUT IT STILL RUNS.  I HAVE NO USE FOR IT ANYMORE, HOPE YOU CAN USE IT.  THE PLUG FOULS EASILY AND REQUIRES REGULAR SERVICE.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

What?  A note conveying its ownership to us?  How very splendid!  What generosity!  Who would do such a thing? 

What I later wondered was, what if we had never taken a closer look at this vehicle?  Would it have sat forever waiting for someone to claim it?  And would we have ever known that  "someone" was us?  Funny, huh?

So, now, for those of you who have been yearning (as I secretly have) for a 4-wheeler to drive about and enjoy to your heart's content, here it is!  I just know we will put it to good use.

Thank you, whoever you are!  What a lovely surprise.
