Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 18th day of July, 2014.
A bit later than usual here because I was at work for 6:30 to help with a pancake breakfast.
It was a huge success.
Today is the parade for our “K Days” which is our summer fair or exhibition.
I wanted to share a cute story with you all.
Yesterday morning after my visit to the dentist, I had stopped at Shoppers Drug Mart which is almost next door to my dentist to pick up an umbrella.
I had walked to the dentist from my house and managed to stay dry. (my last umbrella broke and I had not replaced it).
Mother Nature was kind ….. it started to rain hard after I was at the dentist.
So after I picked out my umbrella I walked over to cash to pay for it.
There was an older woman ahead of me and the cashier said to her “I gave you a present.”
The woman smiled, paid for her purchase, said “thank you.” and walked away.
As the cashier rang in my umbrella she said to me “I gave you a present.”
I thought to myself “sweet” and not thinking to ask (as my mouth was frozen and I didn’t feel much like talking) …. just finished paying and left.
As I put my receipt into my purse I checked the receipt and saw in capital letters ” SENIORS DISCOUNT. ”
My mouth dropped even lower, and I thought to myself “she thought I was a senior” and then followed by “hey I got $3.00 off my umbrella” ….. SWEET.
I laughed to myself all the way to the bus stop.
I guess in some places I would be considered a senior and there are times sometimes in the early morning and late at night that I feel a bit “senior.”
Then I was thinking that perhaps because with the freezing in from the dentist my mouth was all droopy and there is nothing like that to age a gal.
Oh well …… makes for a cute story …..
I hope that you all are having a fantastic Friday.
Time to go and have a walk with Mr. Alvin before it gets too hot.
I work tonight so it would be very late when we walk tonight.
Happy Friday.
Always Smiling……
Special Hello to: my fellow bloggers ….. keep writing ……
Always, Carol and Alvin
I am still stuffed from the pancakes and am very grateful for the treat.
