Beneath the Wraps

I was searching through various posts in search for specific memories of Universal Studios.   I was floored when I came across one labeled L abor Day Weekend  in which the first line reads Roland said he wanted to take Jenna to Universal this weekend The date read September 1 – that is when we left the house this year – when did I write that?   Apparently it was a thought that had existed in 2019 which became a reality this year – only it wasn’t on a Sunday that we left.   It was on a Thursday.   We drove to Modesto, California – which I had believed was a halfway point to Monterey Park.   It wasn’t.   It was so out of the way that it proved my point about why I don’t like making reservations.   We should have just looked for something in Sacramento.   Modesto was such a waste of driving and the pool was closed.   VERY contaminated pool We continued our drive to LA – another gamble in industrial area that didn’t appear to be a safe part ...

   Who performs more random acts of kindness than anyone else you know?           Jaime is always thoughtful of others.   The other day we went to Subway and she left a very generous tip.   She said she could tell at least one of the staff members was being trained and there were three splitting tips instead of just two.   She wanted them to each have the same amount.         That is just one example.   There are more.   Lots more.         It ’ s a quality I ’ m guessing she got from her dad.   He is often doing random acts of kindness – like sending out Labor Day Cards.   Who does that?
