Yesterday, part of my work day consisted of visiting a power plant. Thrilling as that was, I was lucky enough to have my trip followed by an even more pleasant surprise.
As my friend Mike and I drove away from the plant, we decided to stop and get lunch at In N Out. Since it was one of the old style, drive thru and walk up only, In N Outs, we had nowhere to sit. That was going to be bad . . . until, of course, I remembered we had our folding chairs from the tailgate in the back of the car.
There we were, folding chairs below us, double doubles in hand, watching the other poor schlubs who had to eat standing. The moment would only have been better if I’d remembered I also had a camera in my purse.
Sometimes, it’s the small things that make me happy. Ok, ok, often it’s these small things that make me happy.
