Some people are just so nice

So, today I ran errands again and the kids were really good (for them) and so I promised them we could get ice cream. All Zanna wanted was a little Frosty- but WENDY'S is hard to come by out here (there aren't a lot fast food chains and none of them are in convenient locations)!

Anyway... I see a Carvel ice cream store so I quickly pulled over and when we got inside the sign said

"No Credit or Debit Cards- Cash only!"

That is how it always is around here- you have to have CASH for everything!!
So, I told the kids we had to leave so I could go to the bank, and James started crying.

The next thing I know, the nice man next to me laid down $6 and said

"It's on me."

I tried to refuse, but he insisted and said he had older kids and was happy to do it.

I couldn't believe how nice it was, I mean $6 isn't really a lot in the whole scheme of money, but it meant a lot to me and especially to the kiddos. So, we all got ice cream and even 50 cents back, which we tipped the nice Carvel ice cream guy with.

today was a good day.

hey all... we are doing well here in Manhasset, NY and truly do love it here. The humidity is gone, the evenings are nice and cool and the kids and I went to the beach today and had a great time. Zanna and James are quite the dynamic duo and keep us very busy with games of "Go Fish", singing all the Primary songs all day long (I'm not kidding...all day), watching them jump on and off of everthing, and making deals about eating their food and getting treats! Dave is doing really well- he's had a busy 2 weeks in the CCU and is back to the ED next week. I am doing all the things that keep moms busy and have enjoyed this quiet night of blogging :)
