tuesday is typically errands and lunch with friends day. this tuesday was valentine's day. the few stores where i shopped were all a-buzz with activity; everyone purchasing flowers, balloons, candy, cards and other tokens of affection for their valentines. as a result there was a festive feeling to the day. this carried over into the restaurant as many of the diners were there for the occasion. i had fun surprising my friends and the restaurant servers with a small valentine i had made. it brought a smile to see how pleased everyone was to be remembered.
one stop was the dollar store. everything in the store, obviously, costs a dollar. the laugh of the day came at the entrance of the store. just inside the door was a free standing sign proclaiming: THE DEAL OF THE WEEK! pictured was the so-called "deals" with the price being one dollar! it's the DOLLAR store! everything costs a dollar! how is that a deal?!?!?!?! definitely a hoot and a half.
last week i opened the door for one of the kitty cats to go out. what floated before me, as i was standing on the porch, was the tiniest snowflake i had ever seen. it made me giggle. i watched it float away and thought of dr seuss' horton hears a who!
