Anyway, I dropped my daughter off at Volleyball camp and went to Safeway. Nothing notable happened. But at 11:30 I met the Mom of one of one of my daughter's friends to catch up before we picked our girls up from Volleyball Camp and I was just so blessed to spend a half an hour chatting with her. And as a bonus I was able to watch my daughter in action while I was waiting for this woman to arrive and she was doing so great!
Then, we went home for lunch and then ran a couple of errands. I had to stop by a jewelry store (my husband had to get his wedding band re-sized and I needed to pick it up for him) and I met this lovely man who had just celebrated his 25th wedding anniversary. He played football with Ken Hutchinson at the UW and I knew "Hutch" from Westminster Chapel where I grew up and he was an associate pastor before leaving with Mark Webster to form Antioch in Kirkland. We talked churches and it turns out he is a believer and a very kind gentleman. Thrilled my soul to meet him!
After we got home, I left my daughter (who is currently cleaning the house for me, dear girl) and took my son to the summer party being thrown by his orthodontist. There is free ice cream, espresso and a bouncy house and pretty soon the Reptile Man will be Herr. But I met the coffee guy (Terry) and had a lovely conversation with him. He owns the company (Elegant Espresso) and he made me an amazing drink that is his signature drink called the cafe Cubano- yum! Turns out he is also a chaplain for the police department and has a ministry helping teach young people in South Africa to make espso they can go to the bigger cities and get jobs at higher end hotels and restaurants. He also us a cancer survivor. Amazing gentleman!
I'm also wearing pink today because it's Wednesday (something my daughter and her friends started during the school year - it's from a movie they watched) and all the Neal Smiles employees are wearing pink shirts - I heard one of them say "we wear pink on Wednesdays" - made me laugh and I had a great conversation with her too.
These moments just propel me through the day. Plus, Terry actually made me TWO coffee drinks - I also had an iced Coconut White Chocolate Latte. 😁
My God is sooooooo amazing! I can hardly wait for tomorrow!
