Karma....goes my way!

Today we got back from the lake - and it has been a gorgeous 5 days. I have had to brave >30 Celcius weather every day, eating ice cream daily and swimming in the lake to stay cool.

We got home to a 32C home, then immediately opened up all the windows - and got naked!!! We could only bear the heat for a few hours, then had to take cold showers and leave the house. We headed to East Side Marios for some major A/C. There was this elderly man sitting beside us all by himself eating ice cream and drinking coffee. Paige was smiling at him and he was winking back to her. We decided we wanted to cover his tab - so Darren went up to the waitress and told her we wanted to cover his charges. The waitress told us he comes in all the time - and they never charge him! We thought that was so sweet. We finished our meal, then got our food together. Our bill came and Darren took it to the bar to pay debit. Our server came up and said "Oh...you wanted to cover that man's charges!" I said "YES, for sure - But my hubby is on his way to pay it now at the bar". So he runs off to "adjust it". I wait a few minutes, and Darren comes back and tells me that our server "adjusted" our bill to take %15 off because they thought that was sweet of us to offer to pay for the man's bill. They did NOT add any of his tab to ours at all! Sweet Karma!!!

Then we went for a visit to my Mom's place, she got home from a visit to Ontario tonight - so we had a visit with her. After leaving we wanted to have Slurpees. We stopped at 7-11 and Darren filled up with gas and I went in to get the treats and pay for the gas. The guy in 7-11 was getting hassled by a set of 17yr olds and I could tell he was not impressed. After they left I told him I appreciated him working so hard on such a hot day, and I hoped that he had a fantastic evening. Then he gave us free Slurpees!!! He said it was because I make his smile on such a crappy day. Sweet Karma!!!

  • Thank you for the reminder. Being kind to others - even when you don't always feel like it, pays itself big 10 fold.

    I'm glad you had such a nice day.
