Lynne,
I dont' know how many more Weezie's this world could handle, my hubby says "I'm one of a kind"
Not sure how to take that from him sometimes
....(Not sure if he wants to make that a compliment or find out who made my "mold" and beat the H#ll out of him for makin' me!!
)
But it is so true, I think of the seniors sitting in those places and some don't have families, etc. to come visit, or have the things they used to have, they love to talk and remember, although, I can't take them back to where they came, I always got a few minutes to talk and remember with them....I can't do much more for them other wise, but I always have an ear to listen and extra veggies in season!!!
I think of my self sitting in one some day (OOOH, Gosh forbid, I'd drive every one up the freakin' wall!!!) but, I'd like someone to take the time for me....
I have a couple of seniors that walk up and down the street to go get groceries.... I've offered to help one lady bring her stuff home, but she says she needs the excercise and she'll call me when she needs help, I always say the same thing...
Another one is a vet and he has a wheel chair and no legs, and he always stops when the kids have their kool~aid stand is out and buys a cup of Kool~aid from each and gives them each a buck....
So, I gave him some veggies to take home... Hey, he gave my kids a memory they'll never forget and at least I could do is send him home with some good home grown veggies..
Didn't have a bumper crop like some years but hey, I've always got some for people like that!!!
Same way with here, I like to help others' with questions/answers if I can, I remember what it was like for me starting out.. Never had the internet, and would have loved some helping hints..And I have made some great friends here,
and can't imagine my life with out them!!!
I wish there were alot that volunteered their time and just a small helping hand, (doesn't even have to be a big project, just a conversation with someone alone can mean the world to a person.....) The world would be such a nicer place, even if it's just one helpin' hand, it's like a domino effect, something nice happened to a person in need, and they in turned helped someone else and that good cheer is spread round the world.... literally now adays with the internet, it's more possible than ever!!!
But Thanks for the compliment, I can't take credit for the idea of it though, some one higher up than me thought of that concept first a long time ago!!!!
Weezie
