Today's Joy: Ed went fishing, a hobby he gave up long ago. A close family friend spent the day with him. Before Ed took me to a late lunch we sat and talked. I asked him about his day and watched his face glow as he talked about Paulie (31 years old and still calls him Paulie~Cute). Paul stayed up late last night getting ready for their morning. When Ed was fishing, Paul asked if he wanted to sit. Ed told him in a noncomplaining manner that he was all set. Paul took a chair out of the truck for Ed~sweetie that he is. They caught all kinds of fish but Paul caught the most.

Paul just called to check on Ed. I told him he was sleeping and he was happy about that since he knew Ed did not sleep last night.......then he asked me if Ed mentioned that he caught the most fish?? It gives new meaning to a fish story, eh?...giving Ed credit he did not deserve, this warmed my heart. I let Paul know that the day meant the world to Mighty Oak and that I was thankful for both his friendship and how he takes care of Ed all the time.

Oooo, then the salad I had for lunch.....Garden greens with strawberries, white raisins, candied walnuts, Gorgonzola cheese and a pineapple vinagarette.......Mmmmm.

Besides new bumps in the road I am savoring each day.....especially now as Mighty Oak sleeps in his Lazyboy chair with a grin on his face.

What is your JOY today?? I could use some extra smiles today.
