1.
Last night, I stopped by Valero to gas up and get a drink and a snack. Inside, a young woman in the line smiled and said, "Go ahead, Mama."
As I was about to pay, I realized I had left my wallet in the car, so I left to get it. When I got back, the young woman had paid for me.
"Thank you," I said. "You're an angel."
She grinned. "You're welcome, Mama, but I'm not no f...... angel."
"Well, I'll consider this a birthday present," I said.
So as it turned out, the giver-of-the-drink-and-snack, along with the cashier, all had October birthdays, and we had a moment together!
2. This one wasn't so random: Jan packed me delicious road trip oatmeal cookies--which I had for lunch along with an avocado sandwich in the sweet little Old Town of Bastrop.
3. Every person I've met on the road has been friendly--including the desk people at the BW. I met a woman in Bastrop--who guessed by my purchase of old photos--that I might do mixed media projects. She does, too, so we shared some ideas for transferring photos to canvas--and of course, I told her about gel printing.
I've driven back roads under a grey sky, but no rain--a very relaxing day on the road, hardly any traffic. Landed just now at the Nacogdoches Best Western and had fried catfish at the Clear Creek Restaurant--yummy!
My plan for tomorrow is to drive to Natchez, take the Natchez Trace to Tupelo, then hop on I20 and drive to Carlene's.
