A belated Happy Tuesday and a Wordless Wednesday.
As I was getting ready to heat my leftover SW Quiche and Ham and CoJack quiche, Colton text me. "Grandmother let's go to Denny's for the $6.99 all you can eat breakfast, cheesy eggs, hash brown and pancakes. Away we went! Ariel was our server. She was a bright and cheerful young lady. Took excellent care of us. I love to give a shout out to all those who hit the pavement running each and every day and go to work at jobs that many times feel thankless.
I will never forget a friend, Tonya, telling us how when they traveled by RV and home schooled their four kids. She and her husband made the kid stack all the dirty dishes at the restaurant table when they had a special treat and went out to breakfast, lunch or dinner. I remember a "horrified: person she knew ask her, why would you do such a thing? That's what "those" people get paid for! Yep, some of us are cool and do our part to help an overtired server get through the day. Then there are the complainers, the chronic crybabies! I think if people outside your home upset you so much, just cook at home and be happy. It sure would help the rest of us stay happy! That is not to say most of us have experienced bad service, cold food or just plain rudeness. Take it with a grain of salt and complain to the company. I just try to add some happiness to someone's day.
While waiting for Harry to use the restroom, I met the sweetest lady. She was waiting on her three grand girls using the ladies room. She said to me that she loved my dress, a la Minnie Mouse and the golden days of LuLaRoe when they sold Disney designs. I said I equally loved her Minnie leggings. We chatted for a few minutes. She told me she was in the military US Army) and her former spouse (USAF). I thanked her for her service and her former spouse too. We chatted about LuLaRoe and then all four of the kids came out of the restrooms. Sometime you have a bond with a complete stranger and it makes me realize Anne Frank was right. She believed there was some good in all people.

I found a t shirt at etsy that I loved. So I ordered it and I had talked about it to Avery. So when it arrived, a few days before his birthday (July 23) he said it that t shirt for me? I said no, you didn't say you wanted one! So I got in touch with the gal and she shipped one out for him too. Here is a picture of us wearing our new shirts:
You know I posted this photo twice. I don't think it came through here the first time I tried.
Snoopy always makes me smile. For our birthdays, my sister-in-law, is an early bird for my December birthday, gave us matching Snoopy t shirts. They are so cute. I will get a photo and post it soon. I started two similar posts so I just put them both up. It has been another wild and crazy week at our house.
Have a beautiful and blessed day. Stay happy and unlike me, many of you are truly wordless on Wednesday!

How fun to go to breakfast with your grands. I'm with you on being kind to the waitstaff. I did that work for years. Kindness was always appreciated.
Thank you for joining the happy Tuesday and Wordless Wednesday blog hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, my friend. Love and hugs. 💕
Tonya knew how to raise her children with good values!
Such sweet photos. And how cool that you have a Minnie Mouse dress. XO
For some people it's hard for them to "just stay happy" and I understand that. I give them the benefit of the doubt too, as we never know the cross someone else is carrying.
Oh how fun to be called for a "dinner date". I would have gone too. I'm so glad you had a good time. ~Andrea xoxo
Sounds like you had a grand time! Dining our with family is always a fun thing to do. Enjoy, hugs, Edna B.
