$2, Tulips, Wine & Cookies

Wednesday, February 23rd 2011

Happy birthday I.D. and Miss C! Hope it's a great day for both of you...

We are now running on power from a generator at the condo, but the water still isn't on. I thought about staying home tonight, but without a shower or flushing capability, it could've been rough. So I called D's mom to see if we could stay over for the 2nd night in a row. "I left the bed up just for you in case you needed to!" She answered so welcoming.

To complicate things a little more, we are expecting to get a few inches of snow tonight! D's parents live at a higher elevation and my car won't make it up and down the hills, so we'll see what happens tomorrow.

But in case I get stranded on my way there, I stopped to fill up with gas first. It was so cold outside and since people were being so generous with me, I wanted to give back. So I got out $2 and gave to the man filling up my gas tank. He looked down at it as he was walking away and then he started to jog! It felt so good to see his reaction.

After that, I stopped at the store to pick up some wine for D's parents and a bunch of tulips for D's mom. I was feeling so good that I just wanted to do more and more for others. I talked to a lady on the wine aisle who I met again on the candy aisle and then she ended up behind me at the checkout counter, so we were laughing about that.

Luckily for me, the girl scouts were selling cookies outside, so I bought a box of those too and took off up the hill!

Peace :)
