Halfway Through September Weekend Recap
Howdy-eth Do-eth? Anyone else in the 90's today and the rest of this week? 🤬 It's like summer is getting out its last wrath or something. Not to say when the calendar flips to 'official' Fall that it will suddenly drop in temps but I did see low 80's on the horizon even though my body is quite ready for 60's, sweatshirts and fuzzy socks. But I know at least one or two Indian summers or whatever people younger than me in the PC realm call Satan bursts await in October. I am happy to say I was able to get into the basement Friday and that pic from Friday's post is actually a reality on top! It still looks like steaming garbage on the floor but I do what I can. Saturday we decided to drive and find a Town de la Podunk and see what we could get into. When we arrived at said place, we had a swing and a miss for an old fashioned donut shop. For the love of God, they are not dinner rolls dunked in DQ chocolate dip cone sauce....
I remember seeing an elderly couple who really looked like they ordered the smallest, most affordable breakfasts because it was likely all they could afford. Secretly paying for their meal just felt right and the person who waited on us that day really seemed to understand why we were doing that too - as if they knew those people as regulars who didn't have much money to spend on their meals. I agree with you, it's the kind of thing that hopefully sets their day off in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI've plugged meters, shut car doors and trunks in parking lots, shut off car lights. I throw their paper closer to the door when walking Bagel. I've dropped cash in mailboxes. I'm not very sneaky so its hard for me to pull off things without people noticing. (Bull in China shop )
ReplyDeleteSomeone I knew was talking about someone they knew who was struggling financially and rent was do. so I sent off an anonymous payment to the rental place to cover rent for the month, and never said a word to anyone about it. Well, until here. LOL
ReplyDeleteA friend lost her job. I stopped by and handed her son an envelope. It had $1000 in it. But I agree, paying for meals, leaving a quarter in the Aldi cart, buying a gift card and asking the cashier to use it for someone. Even small acts can make a big difference!
ReplyDeleteIf I told you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore would it? lol.
