I love surprises like anyone else.Well I got a surprise this past Sunday, a nice surprise.
I had baked the peanut butter kiss cookies and delivered to the neighbors and then went around town delivering to the grocery shopping ladies.
- My last stop was Nancy – and she came out to greet me to pick up the cookies and she had a bottle of Chianti in her hand.
- She said it was from she and Pat (another grocery lady), they did not know what to get me and I won’t take money. Nancy had her daughter and grandchildren over so the daughter had purchased for her.
- That was so sweet, later I recalled when I was delivering food to Pat a week or two ago the aid had asked me for some recommendations for wine as her brother only knew about beer…. Well I told her that Chianti is my favorite and gave her a few other types…. Funny I had thought I would pick up a bottle for them.. ha ha, good thing I did not do that.
- It was so kind of them and of course was not necessary I have grown very fond of these ladies and am so glad I can help them, it helps me feel good to do this for others in the community.
- In this trying time it is important to stay engaged in whatever way we can and this helps me to do that.
- Well I will remember this kindness for a long time because this is from people that cannot get out and about like I can, so was extra special.
I did a small grocery shopping trip for Dolores, the 93 year old woman and tomorrow I will do for Nancy and Shelia and then on Thursday I will do for Pat.
I have continued to run, today I did four miles in 40’ 40” a good pace and felt good to be out there again. I am looking forward to training for the half marathon in September – training to start in early June…
I am so glad the weather is turning to spring, the trees are starting to bloom.
Hopefully this coronavirus will pass and we will be able to take our Outer Banks vacation in July and out Hawaii trip in September.
