Dear Secret Agent L,

I’ve been holding on to this mission for a couple months now. Due to bad weather, bad timing and a bit of bad attitude, I’ve been making excuses that kept me from finishing it up. Your sad post on Facebook (about how many web hits you were getting) this morning inspired me to get this mission completed and finishing my final drop. Last time I did 7 missions and sent 17 photos. So I did the same this time (I was short one photo so I threw in one of my Chihuahua Homey, I knew you wouldn’t mind). This inspired me to also change my name to Secret Affiliated Agent 7 (for my next mission) because I don’t want to confuse people into thinking I am you. An upside down L… I’m so clever!

I started this one early March, just as it was starting to warm up. My husband is still singing “Secret Agent L… but it’s not yooo-uu though”, so I finally told him I am not SAL but I am Secret Agent Affiliated L. He still teases me every time I ask to use the camera though. He thinks he is so clever! So I thought Sunflowers would be a wonderful gift for people to receive for this mission since Spring is here. My last mission was all about walking around and doing random drops around town. And when you commented on wanting to visit Gunnison, it inspired me to drop my gifts on some of our lovely public art pieces and on a couple of our many scenic spots. This mission for me was about finding fun places and getting some good photos. I love Gunnison!

Coming up with the words for the letter is so fun! The attitudes and messages in my letters are inspired by Notes from the Universe. (Visit their site to see what I mean.) I also love using all my son’s colorful crayons. All my drops were going to be outside so I covered my gifts in snack bags. I knew this hole punch would come in handy some day! Of course I had to include some Louise Hay cards. We love Louise!

I knew I wanted to hang them on things so I used a little yarn.

First drop: Legion Park on a Deer’s Tail.

Second drop: A Little Girl’s watering can at Bill’s Park. This one fell off due to wind and when I went to retrieve it an old man saw me and said “Is that a note for me?” I said, “It’s a random act of kindness. Would you like to have it?” He replied, “No thanks, I already got one.” Not sure if that meant he found one from my last mission or it was just one of those things old men say. I’m guessing the latter.

Third drop: Tomichi River Way park at The Gunnison River.

Fourth drop: The alley entrance at the Gunnison Brewery. Wish I would have gotten a better shot of the mural. I love it!

Fifth drop: A Kitten’s Paw at the Family Services Center.

Sixth drop: The trail out by W mountain.

Seventh drop: A Horse’s Ear by the Gunnison Art’s Center. This is the one that was holding me up because there is usually so much traffic here! I really wanted this to be a drop because I love this horse! I made this final drop on May 2nd so it took me two months to complete this mission.

We love you Secret Agent L… thank you for all your efforts toward making this world a kinder place. Keep it up!

Thank YOU, Affiliated Agent 7!! Your extreme acts of kindness give me hope! {Oh, and the photo of Homey? Yeah, I’ll be over in ten minutes for some serious cuddling. HOLY BANANAS IS THAT ONE CUTE PUPPY.}
