- And then he pointed out the moon, saying, "And did you see the moon? This is the best parking lot ever!" I think so, too.
- The day had started out with bang. I had a flat tire about a half mile from my home and was able to pull into a convenience store parking lot. Roadside assistance was slow coming (but a cheerful man arrived 1.5 hours later - allowing me time to clean out the car's trunk.) A neighbor came by to get convenience food and walked over. We are nodding acquaintances - I see him out walking his dog. "You're my neighbor, right? Do you need help?" I told him help was on the way and thanked him. He said he would help anyone, but especially a neighbor. How nice.
I'm off to get two new tires this morning, thankful I had a good spare tire in the trunk and that the flat came just before I got on the expressway. And cleaning out the trunk while waiting revealed two Santa hats that had gone missing, a tumbler from the church kitchen, and a book I borrowed ten years ago (don't ever loan me books.) I'm having dinner with the book's owner tonight. Full circle. Have a great weekend, friends!

You are living proof that what goes around comes around.
It's amazing the things we unearth when we have time. :) I love when you meet a kindred spirit who notices much beyond rights under their nose. So cool! Glad you've got the new tires.
Being forced to take the time, and then discover the treasures, that's a gift. And having the flat before the fwy is God's hand.
I love that young man. An appreciator through and through.
Have a great weekend.
I like the observations of the young man at the grocery lot. He's one after my own heart.
Ten years! Ha,ha. I would like to have been there to see your friend's reaction when you returned it : )
It was convenient your flat tyre (yes....that's how we spell it down this way) happened nearby to a convenience store.
That was a long wait. I'm glad it all worked out for you in the end. :)
How sweet that your neighbor offered help!
Best parking lot indeed! The best thing of all is encountering a kind and appreciative human being.
hi lynn,
getting a flat tyre is a bummer, glad this happened nearby to a store...i'm glad you've got the new tires.
wish you a great remainder of your weekend.
big hugs!
Wow that is a long time to wait! Gorgeous sunset though. What an enthusiastic guy.
A tire a sunset
A moon so bright
A book you found
For the owner RIGHT??
The trunk was full
Santa hats were flat
A guest for dinner
Now think of that
Granny Annie -
Thank you for saying that.
Talon -
Yes - a kindred spirit, I think.
Susan -
Absolutely - I think so, too.
Elephant's Child -
He is - I think they must switch the outside cart employees around to different WF stores, so that's why he is comparing parking lots. Love that.
Leonora -
She immediately wanted to get together for dinner - it was a good excuse to get together (last Friday night.) :)
Lee -
It did - a little adventure for sure.
Joanne -
So sweet.
Sparkling Red -
Yes - you know I love that kind of thing...
Betty -
I'm getting caught up on comments - thanks for your kind words!
Hugs!
Riot Kitty -
It gave me time to clean out my car a little. :)
Ellis -
Aw - your poem makes me smile. Thank you!
You're lucky to have good weather, a good lot location n view, n such nice neighbors!
What a stunning view! That is the kind of parking lot I wouldn’t mind being stuck in. A clean and well-maintained parking lot with a scenic view would definitely add as one of the best in my list. Take care!
