ABC Wednesday - M is for...


my boy, in morning meditation (♥) 


we were out running errands and I forgot to schedule lunch (read:  I hadn't planned on the boy staying home from school sick), so we popped in somewhere we hardly ever go, but for a mobile lunch, beats the fast food places by a landslide - Mara's on the Way!  I love them because the first time we stopped in was on the way back to our previous place of residence after getting the boy registered for school in our new town, just before we moved in.  the lady who took my order, on discovering we were soon-to-be new arrivals, spent the time while we were waiting for our food giving us directions to local points of interest. to me, that kind of customer service should be common sense, though it tends to be rather rare, so I cherish when I find it.  thank you, Mara's!

oh, and of course...me!  I'm an 'M', too!


thanks for visiting, and have a happy Wednesday!

    1. thanks, Wanda - he's fine, just a little upset stomach this morning. I was going to send him in to school for the afternoon, but he made such a compelling argument that I let him stay home!

    1. he ordered a hot dog at Mara's, so I looked at him sideways and asked if he thought that was a good idea with his tummy being wonky. he said, "I'm fine, Mom...that was like, seventy-three hours ago." well, he kept it down, so who am I to argue?

    1. it's true. for me, cities are wonderful, and full of life! but I can't live with all that hustle and bustle - I need trees and rivers, open skies and quiet.
