It was a cold evening and was going to be a colder night, when I visited a friend in the neighborhood who lives on her own. We talked about how cold it was and she told me that her feet never feel warm in her bed, and so sleep does not come easy.I told her a hot water bottle was the answer, and also that I had two so I would be happy to give her one; she was hesitant to accept the offer, but when I persuaded her she agreed, so I came home and took the bottle( which also has a very pretty cotton fabric cover), for her. She told me the next morning that she had a really comfortable night, it made me feel wonderful.
She used the bottle through the winter and is still using it, every night...makes me feel really happy especially when I get into my own bed and think of her warm feet!
