Happy Mother's Day
It does seem appropriate to begin my real postings today. I feel as if I have a new child!
From time to time there are moments which mean very little to anyone but me. But there are things that make my day go easier or from which I may have learned something. I wanted to have a place that I could share these moments. So here goes. . .
This week there have been at least a couple of special moments.
Mooing stories:
I live close enough to my home that I can leave work and eat lunch at my own table. On the return trip to work this georgeous blue skyed Wednesday, I was driving along and saw this photo moment. A man with a white vinyl fence was mowing the green grass as close to the fence as he could get with his shiny green John Deere mower. Inside the fence was a small herd of copper brown cattle. As he is progressing down the length of fence on the outside, this herd of cattle was following single file after him on the inside. Wish I had a photo!
The Bluebird of Happiness:
Oh! and while I was mowing the 3 acre yard this week, I was mowing along and I noticed a male bluebird following me from about 25-30 feet behind. He was making a pig of himself. The crickets and bugs were fresh and he was hopping along just enjoying the smorgasbord.
Random Acts of Kindness:
I have a notary bond and as part of my daily activities, I notorize documents for the public as a free service. Generally people feel that having a notary seal required is a nuisance. But even if they have been inconvenienced, I love working with people and it is always interesting to see the short segments of peoples lives. A lovely woman came in today with a document to be notarized. Her husband had passed away and she was re-organizing. She was not very comfortable with her new role and was telling me her story and about her discomfort. I shared some of mine and explained that it really was good to see her taking on the responsibilities. I notarized, imparted opinion and wished her well. At the end of the conversation, she abruptly asked me my favorite flavor of pie. Caught off guard, I told her and explained that I never turned down any pie! She laughed and thanked me and went on her way. I resumed the other parts of my daily grind. About 30 minutes later, she walked in carrying a freshly made Chocolate pie. I found out she makes them to sell and had just finished making the next days offerings just prior to our conversation. The pie was so delicious and the sentiment so appreciated. And the gesture will definitely increase her business!
Guess, that is enough for today. Nothing profound - just memories!
