Hello,
Well Happy Friday morning.
It is true that you never know how a day will start, the middle or how it will end.
I must share with you my Thursday.
The day was pretty good.
Was getting lots accomplished at work.
I received a phone call from a coworker who said please “Read the SKYPE message that I just sent you, you need to see this message.”
Will say for sure that in that nanosecond I was truly intrigued by the note.
Read the message while she stayed on the line and then said “Yes, your client is here with some flowers for you.”
She is waiting in the lobby.
I said thank you and then quickly went to see the client who brought me flowers.
This dear lady is moving away from Edmonton, and wanted to thank me.
Not only did she bring me these beautiful white Oriental Lilies but she hand-made me the most beautiful blouse and sandals.
I will share some photos (later).
We were standing in the middle of the lobby both teary eyed.
I was moved that someone would be so generous not only with the cost of the flowers but to actually make a blouse just for me.
Unfortunately the blouse is “just a tad” too small for me but the sandals and the lilies fit perfectly.
I was floating on air with gratitude for the fact that someone was leaving for better career opportunities and was taking time out to show her appreciation.
What a great world we live in.
So the rest of the day was a blur.
Hard to settle down after that …. too excited.
Caught the bus home.
After Alvin went outside and had his supper.
We went for a walk.
Teddy was to come over after supper.
On the home stretch of our walk …. who did we see but Teddy’s Mom.
She stopped on the side of the street and said that “they were going to have Dairy Queen for supper and wanted to buy me a burger.”
I said that’s okay, thank you but I have leftovers.
She said “wait a minute, let me turn around.”
So she turned the car around to be facing our house.
Our friend politely said that they wished to buy us supper and what kind of burger would I like, had to have fries and her husband said “she have gravy, too”
and a Cherry Milkshake.
OMG.
What you don’t see is the way that my darling Alvin watched me with those puppy dog eyes as I sipped on the CHERRY MILKSHAKE.
He did want the chicken burger, too but the milkshake really seemed to grab his attention.
Unfortunately, technology and I still are having a learning curve …. apparently when I was snapping some photos of him looking at me and the milkshake, I was actually snapping about a thousand frame per second.
Okay, perhaps that is just a tad over the top …. actually it was 196.
I had some of him licking the bottom of the milkshake container as I was sipping away.
He really wanted some of that milkshake.
I apologize for missing out on some great shots.
They are on my phone so perhaps I will be able to upload/download them at some point from my phone to the computer.
I hope so.
Ended up that Teddy’s Dad has to work today so Teddy will be coming tonight instead of last night.
Well getting close to my time to leave to catch the bus.
Feeling mighty fine this morning.
At the end of my Thursday I received flowers, new blouse/top, new sandals and suppers including the most delicious CHERRY MILKSHAKE.
Doesn’t get much better than that…..
Well tomorrow I will have my grand pups Miss Aspen and Baby Milo for two days.
Along with Master Teddy.
So I guess it does get better!
What a lucky gal, I am.
Sometimes or most times we have no clue as to what the day holds in store for us.
All we have to do is to be kind to ourselves and others.
Treat ourselves and others with respect.
Then your day will be wonderful even without pups and flowers.
Happy Friday.
No breeze.
Clouds have disappeared and the sun is shining.
To be a warm one.
Time to close the windows and keep in the cool air for the boy.
Always, Carol & Alvin
