Sometimes a day just turns out so darned great that you wonder why they can't all be this perfect. Today was a final Friday coffee morning of the season and husbands were invited...as long as it didn't rain. My trailer isn't very big and a large group can only be accommodated on the patio so I kept my fingers crossed that the rain forecast would hold off until after lunch. It did and we're still waiting for rain at 4:40 P.M.
We had a nice group for coffee but just 2 husbands (1 without his wife) attended. Mark and Char performed their "patience, jackass" skit for us and caught Leslie and Patti unawares. The rest of us knew the punchline and roared with laughter.
For lunch, 8 of us went to "Nothing Fancy" cafe and ran into a gorgeous young man leaving as we were coming in the door. We joked with him and invited him to join us but he didn't, of course. But when our orders were delivered to our table, the waitress told us the man had prepaid our meals and even prepaid the tip!!!! What a pleasant surprise at how nice some people can be with total strangers.
When we finished eating we asked for a clean paper placemat and we all signed our names, hometowns, and thanks to our benefactor. We asked the waitress to give it to him when he came back to the restaurant...she said his name was Steve and he's a cop who comes into the restaurant daily. He is one very nice and generous young man and he really made our day, more so with his kindness than by saving us all some money. It's that kindness that means the most to me and I won't forget him.
Tonight is Bingo, spent again amongst a huge group of some of the nicest people in the world. How lucky I am.
