I have nothing clever or witty to say today however I would like to share a thought. I have noticed the old men... and by old I mean could easily be my grandpa... in this town have started to take a liking to me... and beings that I'm down to a grandan (who is my grandpa inlaw) I've decided this is a cool thing. The other day at the post office an elderly gentlemen was poking along with his cane... I did what every other regular person would do and I rushed to open the door for him to which he said "I feel so lucky to have such a beautiful gal open the door for me!" To which I blushed and said "anytime." and then...
Every day I drive my kids to school, and on my way back down the hill to my house I pass an older man walking. I have waved and smiled at this man at least 3 times prior to today, to which he looks at my quizzically and looks back to the ground. But today, when I passed him and smiled and waved... what did I get, not only a grin but a small wave. Such a simple thing but made my day!

Sometimes a surrogate grandpa is all that's needed.

Isn't it amazing how we are blessed to have people placed in our lives to bless us, or for us to bless. Life is good.
