Have breakfast with my father at a local small town resturant. He likes to tell all sorts of jokes and is very silly. The conversation has no importance. The greatness is just being in the presence of each other, and enjoying each others company.
ReplyDeleteI get my hair done every 6 weeks and the guy who cuts my hair is a talker, as well as me.. We talk about recipes and I had told him about a recipe my husband use to make, Carlo (stylist) was interested.. Well I found a copy of it and mailed it.. Today I saw Carlo and he commented about it.. He said he was touched because it made him aware that I had listened to
