The Funniest Thing Happened to Mr. D at Dairy Queen

It all started when I called in our order to Dairy Queen. The young girl on the phone had a bit of trouble getting it right and I had to repeat myself several times. But eventually, everything seemed sorted, and off Mr. D went to pick it up. When he pulled up to the drive-thru window, the girl said, “$19.99, please.” Mr. D handed her a twenty and, with a grin, said, “You just about got it all.” She didn’t react, just nothing at all and continued handing out our order and pecking away at the register. Mr. D figured she probably didn’t catch the joke.

Then, with quiet precision, she handed him the receipt and a single penny. As he prepared to drive off, she looked at him and said, “Don’t spend it all in one place.”

Mr. D was stunned—and then burst out laughing. He chuckled all the way home, tickled by her perfectly timed comeback.

Hacksaw Ridge - Again

I recently wrote about Hacksaw Ridge, see post HERE.

I finally watched the movie last Saturday—well, as much of it as I could. There were several moments when I had to step away. It’s such a powerful film with a truly remarkable story, but the scenes were very graphic/gruesome and hard to watch, and there were several scenes of abusive behavior which was also hard to see.

Despite all that, the story itself is one of true bravery and conviction, based on true events, which makes it even more moving. I did make it to the end although the tears were wanting to fall.

I think the book would have been better for me.

Something to Ponder:

Until you give up the idea that happiness is somewhere else, it will never be where you are.  From my friend Nina
