I had a rather unsettling experience today. My wife and I took our squad car and our Chevy convertible to a Senior Resident Facility about seven miles from our home. I was to give my Mayberry presentation and then the residents were going to look at our cars. When we arrived, I went and opened the trunk of the squad car so I could unload my two wheel suitcases which contained all my equipment. However, there was a slight problem. My suitcases were not there. Someone, who shall remain nameless, forgot to put them in the car. So my wife offered to go back to our house in the convertible to retrieve my suitcases. Because of all the traffic lights, I knew it would delay my presentation by at least a half hour. And that is exactly what happened. However, all the residents and staff were very understanding and they enjoyed my program very much. As one resident told me, "We haven't got anywhere else to go." It is so good to associate with such caring people.
Speaking of caring people, I want to thank one of our very own for a very nice act of kindness. I had posted about the terrible hot weather we have been having lately and how hot it gets being at my car shows and walking in parades in my uniform. Well, our own Janine, AKA, Aunt Bee, took it upon her self to help me out. She sent me a wonderful battery operated fan that can by hung around the neck. When turned on, it blows wonderful cool air right up to your face. I hadn't seen one like it before and it works great. I will certainly put it to good use during our many events. In fact I will be using it when I am driving the squad car because it is not equipped with air conditioning. So Janine, I thank you once again. You certainly represent all the kindness that Mayberry is about. I appreciate you thoughtfulness very much and you can be assured that i probably will no longer have to be a "hot head". -- Ken Anderson The Mayberry Guru 2906 May Street Eau Claire, Wisconsin 54701 www.themayberryguru.com www.mayberryreflections.com _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.wbmutbb.com/
