for a reason

   Posted by: arcanai   in Nuthin' Special

we ran out to fill a prescription for hubby this evening.  although i had set some chicken out earlier for dinner, i had a craving for chick-fil-a and requested a stop there instead of going home to cook.  i generally don’t do such a thing when i’ve already got a dinner plan in action, but they say everything has its reason and i’m a believer in that.  we walked into a near empty restaurant to find a little old woman (LOW) crying at the counter, the lady at the register giving her directions, and a little old man (LOM) standing nervously by.  the LOW started crying harder the more directions were thrown at her and declared that she was just going to call a cab because she couldn’t drive well at night and he (pointing at the LOM) was blind.  she lamented that they had been driving around in circles and she just couldn’t take any more.  hubby and i immediately looked at each other and said we’d drive them.  while i ordered food, hubby went over to the table that LOW was bawling at and offered to drive them if they wouldn’t mind waiting for us to eat.  by the time we were done eating, the LOW had calmed down and stated that she would be able to drive if she could just follow us.  we led them to their condo at the east end of the beach and wished them a very happy vacation.  this nice little old couple had driven all the way from pennsylvania, just to get lost five miles from their destination.  i could totally empathize with the LOW’s frustration and my heart went out to them.  i truly hope that their vacation improves and they don’t get stuck out and about after dark again.  moral of the story:  never question a chick-fil-a hankering. 

no, i haven’t forgotten about family weekend recap and pix.
