It's All Good

I had the greatest conversation yesterday with my fifth Kid, Clay.  It was almost as good (almost) as an in-person visit.  Lots of laughter, exchange of ideas, etc.  I told him about an incident that had happened on my last trip to Walmart and he suggested I share it.  Here goes.  Done with shopping, Michael having said farewell to his favorite bushes, purchases loaded, I went to get into the truck.  Uh huh.  The idiot next to me had parked in such a way that I could not get the driver's side door open enough to squeeze in, try as I might.  As I was pondering this problem, a gentleman who had seen my dilemma came up and asked if he could help.  "Yes, please!"  Turned out he wasn't able to get in, either.  He suggested I try getting in the passenger side and sliding across.  It was a good idea, but it didn't take into account the height of the truck nor the weakness in my legs.  It was a no-go.  (I normally use the steering wheel as an aid.)  All this was taking the man's time, and I'm sure he wanted to get into the store as much as I wanted to go home.  With my permission, Nice Man offered to climb in and back the truck out.  It was either that or spend the night at Walmart, so of course I said yes.  He did so, waited to make sure I could get in, and left with my profound gratitude.  There are some really nice people in the world.

I'm slowly getting back into my websites, my passwords having been wiped out by the big Computer Tsunami.  What a pain in the patoot!

The weather has turned for the good and we've had beautiful days.  Michael now suggests we go out to sit in the sun twice a day.  I'm okay with that.  I know we will need more rain, but I'll take what we get when we get it.

I highly recommend the PBS production of "All Things Bright And Beautiful."  The James Herriot books were grand, and the TV show follows suit.  Nice people doing nice things, lovely scenery, most of the drama centered around animals...a relief from the news of the day.

It's all good.

Stay safe.  Be well.
