Random Acts Of Kindness

You very rarely see random acts of kindness. So I will share mine with you.

Today I was in the lineup at the coffee store drive thru. Drive thru's are one of my favourite things, who wants to haul 2 kids in and out of the car. This lineup was long and if you don't know the parking lot you can make a wrong turn before the entrance. A woman in front of me did this, and therefore lost her place in line. Other cars were passing her as she tried to get back in. I stopped and waved her to go ahead. She waved at me, something you don't see anymore either. Remember when people use to wave after you let them in on the highways. Anyway...when I got up to the "box" to order I was informed that the person in the car in front of me had bought me a large coffee. How sweet was that. As she drove off I looked over and waved at her.

This has helped me remember there are still good people out there. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy. There is such as thing as karma.

So everyone go out and pay it forward - you never know what you will get back.

Catch Up

All week I have been saying "I need to get on that blog".

When I started my page the beginning of July I didn't think about the fact that I would be on vacation until September. The first couple of weeks weren't to bad. While the little lady was having an afternoon nap I would jump on the computer for a bit. But this past week we have been out everyday. My hubby arrives next week and the schedule is packed. We will be visiting friends and a couple of weeks at the cottage. I of course will also be dumping the kids with him so I can go out and do some "girl" things. Get my hair done, some shopping and lunch with the girls. I tried shopping with the kids but trying clothes on with 2 kids in the change room with you was not a pleasant experience. All 3 of us left that change room in bad moods. Really, I am happy that the hubby is arriving. It has been a long time since we have been together and I am looking forward to some quality family time.

My trip last weekend to Montreal was fabulous. My good friends moved there last summer and have a beautiful home. The weather was great, warm and sunny. There was plenty of good food, wine and a large yard with a swimming pool which kept the 5 kiddies busy.

Enjoy your weekend!
