So the local Bruno's in Spanish Fort is holding this giveaway of some 30 items for "the ultimate tailgate", even though the season is ending. All you gotta do is sign a slip of paper and place it in the box on table in front of store. It just so happens that I have made multiple trips to this store this week because I am getting back from a week of vacation and having very little around the house to eat. So, on Monday I noticed the table didn't have a pen, which is quite inconvenient if you're wanting patrons to participate in your giveaway. Well last night after work I needed to stop at the store again for something else and remembered to take a pen into the store with me just in case the same thing happened, to prevent me from searching from one around the front of the store.
As I'm casually signing my card a man and his about 7-yearold son walk up and he starts telling the son what all the giveaway includes. "Hey son, you see that etc etc." Well the son notices there's no pen to sign the cards and tells the father. I turn to the boy to give him my pen and I'll just finish filling out the card once he's finished. The father answers for him and says "No, we can fill it out later. I'll be back in later this week. It's probably rigged anyways".
I chuckled alittle bit but then once I got in the car I really started thinking about it. What is this father teaching his son. Yah sure, it's no big deal some say. But I mean this puts doubt in the son about trusting others to do what's right. Will the son grow up and never trust what a preacher says because he's being paid voluntarily by the congregation. I probably thought too much into it I know, but I just wondered what impact that would have on a son who looks to his father for confirmation with his life.
Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the SEC Championship game tomorrow. Auburn winning this year really makes me happy. A piece of me will always be in Auburn and I wouldn't discount an opportunity to be there fulltime. Spending time last week in Starkville reminded me just how special that place is to me as well. So I can't say I wouldn't want to end up there either!
Penny hasn't been eating very much at all this week until last night when I coated her food in cottage cheese, she loves anything mixed with that stuff! She also got some frosted miniwheats just in case she was a bit 'stopped up'... and it seems to have helped. I don't really know if it was her being constipated or just the change in the weather that has made her exceptionally grumpy this week. Of course it could be that she's just a lady and that's how they are sometimes! :)
Looking forward, tomorrow morning I hope to finish up my worktable for the garage I started last Sunday. Seems like the forecast for weather should be perfect for tomorrow with temps and everything. Penny will get a nice long walk/hunt in in the morning before I start the work in garage.
As always,
Do Good. Be Rich In Good Deeds.
