GREAT ADVENTURE!!!

GREAT ADVENTURE!!!

I took a trip to Starbucks this morning not expecting anything to happen.  I wanted to observe people with hopes of gathering writing material. I heard woman discussing topics that sparked my interest so we arranged a later meeting. As I continued observing my surroundings, I began changing purses. Then it happened-- a lovely friend, Caroline stopped in and we began chatting. She agreed to join me on a trip to try appetizers.  

On the way to Applebee’s it dawned on me that I was on a going to go on a mission to find a suitable new purse-- all of mine that were once awesome had become unusable. With it still being pretty early, Caroline and I made a few stops looking at purses. The north Ross had nice purses and I did indeed find a different selection of purses but none that would work. We stopped in other stores and the purses were slightly too pricey ($200). We made it to Applebee’s where I found out that my friend didn’t want to eat she just wanted to join me because I had asked.  Thinking about how kind-hearted and selfless her actions were brings me to tears of apriciation (unique expression but the correct adjective has not entered my mind). THANK YOU God for putting people in my life who are examples of how I should act.

            After several hours Caroline had parted ways and I was headed home. I decided to stop at another Ross being that each of Ross has a selection that varies slightly from another.  Being my typical indecisive self, I had two purses picked out and was going to try to fit my purse contents in each to see which fit everything and seemed durable. I brought the purses to an empty counter (to avoid the possibility of being accused of shoplifting) and began to fill the least expensive purse with all of my necessary items.  The first purse would not fit everything and before I had the chance to try the bigger purse a lady walked over and talked to me a little, looked at the purses, gave me the difference and told me to get the larger purse. WHAT?!? A complete stranger just helped me buy a purse!  I looked at other purses but wound up buying the purse that was more suitable for me (#2 of the first 2 choices). Starting with my friend showing up at Starbuck’s and ending with a great new purse, Tuesday was a great adventure!
