Occasionally, we get a surprise. Many years ago during a rain storm my brother-in-law stopped on the freeway to help a gentleman whose rental car had died. He drove the man to his hotel and gave the man his home number and address in case the car rental company wanted to talk to him. What he didn't know was that the man was a regional manager with Ethan Allen. A few weeks after the incident a beautiful Ethan Allen side table was delivered as a "thank you." Unexpected, but nice!Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-37546211804817758202011-06-14T20:13:12.103-05:002011-06-14T20:13:12.103-05:00Linda,

(But I know that's what teenagers do sometimes and it usually changes and turns out fine), so I don't feel bad anymore.<br />But the part about the cellphone--that made me chuckle. Your poor hubby...wondering why strangers are calling him...too funny.<br />Have a great week.<br />SylviaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145825647751945760.post-63457370583000034372011-06-13T20:02:13.894-05:002011-06-13T20:02:13.894-05:00Hi,

...The line about the ripple in the lake is lovely.<br /><br />I'm glad you guys helped. Too often today, people don't stop and help others because it's unsafe.
