The Gift of Chatting

 Have you ever wanted someone to talk to and there was absolutely no one available...

The gift of chatting--some folks have it.

Given the gift yesterday.

Straight up out the door for the morning dog walk a lovely young man complemented my beautiful dog.  Yes, he is a gorgeous juvenille delinquent.  He knew every thing about dogs growing up on a farm and particularly dogs that want to chase everything.  His dog training tips were priceless.  Took time to show me his artwork.  Dog training takes patience.

The lady at the cemetery.

Always trying to make sense of my cousin hijacking my mother's ashes and the mystery of how to get the elusive court order an extremely kind lady at the Heritage Cemetery in Dewey took time to tell me that once folks have passed they are not really interested in controversy.  This situation comes up more often than people realize.  The death situation brings out the extremes of behavior in the loved oncs left behind.

Not everything that is done in the final placement business is on the up and up.  I loved her words.  Did she know my mother?

Samena Squares in Kirkland--The Square Dance Group.

They not only square dance but go to many social events together.  "We are always doing something, not just square dancing."  she really enjoyed the group and always encourages other to actually join the group in addition to attending their dances.  Seriously, it was the best recomendation to join something.

Thank you, for giving me the gift of conversation...and all in one day.

Shout out and thank you to Karyl, the lovely lady at the Heritage Cemetery in Dewey, Arizona.
