Life is Great

I have been so busy lately.  Ellie and I took a break and had a fire outside and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.  What a great smell.....Hot dogs......burnt marshmallows.......and a beautiful fire.   Time is nothing without memories.  People say time flies.  Well, if time is going to fly by, I at least want to remember it.
This little old man came in to the salon the other day.  His wife was getting her hair done.  I put rollers in his wife's hair and put her under the dryer.  The little Old Man started talking to me, in the back of my mind I thought I sure have a lot to do, but I needed, he need me to sit and listen to him for awhile.  What a joy he was.  I listened to a man tell of the days of prohibition, the war, and how he met the love of his life.  He is 91 years young.  He has Parkinson disease and had his car taken away from him, he was not happy about that.  I found out he is a fellow artist and has made furniture, shoes, and plans on bringing me a tin man that he has made.  I can't wait to see it.  Well, I listened with great interest and amazement as to how full his life has been.  He created so many wonderful memories.  I am glad I took some of my time to share in some of his.  As he left the salon, he said, " this has been the best day he has had in a long time".  Can  you imagine, just a few moments of my time made someone have the best day in a long time.  The little Old Mans wife is coming in for a perm next week and the little Old Man would like a hair cut and will be visiting for two hours.  He asked how much are the hair cuts and I said they are the price of one tin man, he seemed to be happy about that.
