Holiday Patience

I was walking in a parking lot the weekend before Christmas, doing some last minute holiday shopping. A car came up behind me and honked for me to get out of the way because the snow banks prevented me from walking close to the side. I turned to acknowledge the honk and just started to make my way to the side to let the elderly couple in the car to pass and he honks at me again! He didn't even give me a chance to even attempt to get to the side of the road. For some reason, that really peeved me so as they drove past me, I yelled, "A little holiday patience would do you some good!"

Yeah, that's not normal behaviour for me and it doesn't stop there.

I saw where the couple parked their car so when I got into my car, I wrote a note and left it on their windshield. The note said, "Tis' the season to be jolly so a little holiday patience would be good. P.S. Pedestrians have the right of way. Merry Christmas!"

It felt good to do it. I wish I could have seen their faces when they returned to their car and read the note.

Time to save our pennies

Aidan just got into Ashbury. Connor's hanging in there with the heavy workload and I'm glad that hasn't scared Aidan off. I'm proud of both my boys. We'll be scrimping, saving, and sacrificing for the next 7 years now that both boys are there.
