Good evening all,
Snow has melted a bit but more overnight and then rain and 60's by weekend
hock: with the probability of flooding in some areas.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I discovered yesterday that "no good deed goes unpunished" and "Random acts of kindness" are both false statements, as I believe nothing is random and some people are still decent in nature. Monday I was shoveling my parents drive way and sidewalk while mom was getting ready for a doctors appointment, did not take long so I went ahead and did the side walk from mom's house down to my sisters house that is about one third of the street on that side and I also did my drive way and sidewalk. Well mom was still getting ready so I did the house on the other side of parents house as that person is a widow and unable to much anyway. Finally mom was ready to go to her appointment, I drove her there and afterwards we stopped at the bank and Walgreens. She just needed to get a prescription so while waiting for it to be filled we looked around the store to kill some time. We ended up in the Holliday decorations area and there where some music box decorations(looked like an old record player and played 2 or 3 songs) they were Snoopy/Peanuts , Alvin & the chipmunks and an Elvis version they were kinda neat but too expensive as they were buy one at $12.99 and get a second one 50% off. While we were playing with the decorations a nice decent young woman was looking at them too she talked to mom and asked which one she liked of coarse mom said Elvis, then the pharmacy paged mom as her prescription had been filled. We went and got the prescription and were still "shopping" when this young woman came up to mom and gave mom a hug and handed her a bag which had the Elvis decoration in it and said merry Christmas the young woman had bought 2 and gave mom one.
Just had to share the story as I still can not get over the encounter at walgreens
