Hmmmm

People are so strange.  I am sitting here at that awesome store.  You know, Bargain Warehouse.  I am people watching.  I realize now how awesome my kids are.  Generally, most parents just don't care what their kids are doing.  Thanks girls, for being so wonderful.

One lady comes every week.  I call her the silverware lady, she's bought loads.  She's so totally nice.  She's planning a wedding.  The last of 5 daughters.  Aleece and I think of Trina when she comes.  I'm so excited for Trina and Jeff, although I don't think stilts are included in the wedding plans.  Bummer.

Men hang back and try to look uninterested (even though they can't help but touch the tools and toys), women bring friends and parents.  Grandmothers try on shoes and forget they are wearing them and think there is only one shoe available.  I've had some pretty funny things happen.  We had a tire in.  Small.  Weird.  Goes to who knows what.  It actually sold!  I am always surprised at the weird things that come and go here.

What I love most:  A little kindness goes a long way.  Even though there are some weirdos out there, mostly people have a smile and a kind word.  I like finding the good in the world.
