The Joys of an Ordinary Day

"Mimi, I will take you to Paw Paw's doctor appointment," sweet granddaughter Bethany offered.

We accepted,  but first, a favorite, special-order drink from Dunkin' Do-nuts was enjoyed and fortified for the road by our driver and a coffee for our special patient.

Pretty soon we arrived at our destination, although with all the various medical buildings on both sides of the street, it was a little hard to remember which one it was!  The visit didn't take long, however, with everything looking good, so we set out for Walmart for a few things.

By this time, lunch pangs were setting in, and after suggesting and ruling out various eateries, Bethany suggested Royer's, the mountain top store/deli/meat market that we had visited once previously.

We ordered roast beef sandwiches with sour dough bread, lettuce and tomato. Sitting out on the porch with a spacious table, we dived in and couldn't believe how delicious everything was, washed down with ice-cold bottles of pop.

Just when we thought we could not eat another bite, our adventurous guide pointed out a do-nut and pretzel trailer nearby.  "The do-nuts are this big!" she told us, measuring a good six-inches across. Sure enough, they were huge and tasted like Krispy Kreme do-nuts with the sweet, delicious coating.

We all had to try out the unique, curvy, handmade, wooden rocking chairs sitting side by side on the porch, each of us in turn exclaiming in surprise at the comfortable, perfect fit for relaxing.

The afternoon, cloudy and cool earlier, had turned into puffy white clouds and blue skies by the time we got home, luring us to a porch of our own, perfect for examining mail and poring over scriptures in the Word, the best news of all!
