Mystery Trip: A Day Around Town in
Dkd Studio Delta Sonic McDonald’s I spent a day with my grandson, Noah, on Alethea’s Our adventure began at a wonderful candy and ice cream store where old fashioned candies are made right there on premises. Noah was fascinated by both the candy store and the ice cream shop. I took a photo of the counter girl; everyone was so kind to Noah all day. He loved walking around the retail store, we talked about all of the candies and he bought rock candy and watermelon candy. Then we went to the ice cream side and he ordered a vanilla milk shake which was so rich he couldn’t drink all of it—but he loved the experience. We purchased two small soft stuffed animals called Jellycats---they each have a name which Noah loved. DKD Studio We then went to the Dkd Studio, a wonderful gift store. Ge patiently walked around the store and met the owner of the store, Karen Dentinger. Karen was wonderful and patient and it was a terrific experience. Introduce yourself to the proprietors of your local store, you will not be disappointed. Dkd Studio is a wonderful gift store for something inexpensive as well as beautiful jewelry and gifts for clients, family and friends. Karen makes jewelry using die casts of antique buttons, how wonderful! Delta Sonic Car Wash Next stop: the car wash and although Noah thought he was going to be scared he wasn’t. This was my second time taking him to a car wash and I was very careful to make it a good experience and not have him panic when all the machines started on the car. We talked about the water, the soap, the blue stripes which cleaned the car….we turned it into an adventure and he now loves the car wash. McDonald’s After a quick lunch at McDonald’s which is always a treat for kids, we visited our neighborhood park. Needless to say, the day tired me out and I was exhausted. But I missed him the moment he went home. As I rested that night, I thought of those precious moments with Noah. I thought about how those memories sustain me in good times and bad. Most importantly, I thought about the gift I hope I am giving my grandson….the gift of knowing as he gets older that he has a Grandma who loves him dearly---dearly enough to take the time out of a busy schedule to devote just to him. Maybe when he is a young man, he will remember rock candy; he’ll look at two little stuffed animals with names; he’ll remember how he learned to like car washes---and he’ll know that he is very much loved by a Grandma who knows him, understands him, and is always there with time just for him.

Yesterday was a wonderful day when I heard the news from my doctor “a clean bill of health” what more could anyone want…?
I may be tired from working hard lately but I’m exhausted from just keeping up with what is happening on Wall Street it’s disturbing to see the mismanagement and greed we’ll have to pay for.
