A super, lovely day!!!!!!!! 💛 😊 💛

Happily, yesterday was one of those days, when "the stars seem to align..."   ~smile~  The weather was simply summer~like.   Not too hot/humid.

~

We went over to the Dairy store, and had our Ice Cream Sundaes.   Our weekly 'treat,' which we have not had, in longer than a week.   We sat in a couple of white painted rocking chairs, on the store's front patio, while enjoying them.   Since it was not on a busy weekend, we had them to ourselves.      

~~~

(BWV)  Before~Wuhan~Virus,  people could sit at little tables, inside the store, to enjoy their ice cream.  (Before we ever heard of  Social Distancing, that is.)    They always had the pretty rocking chairs, out front, and a table with chairs....     But we used to go, at busy times, and they were taken, by the time we got there.    So we ate at little tables, inside.  ~~~~~~~~    I like the not busy time, with outside rocking.   ~smile~

Then I "put on my big girl panties" and did one of those needed things, which has to be done, but we know it will not be an easy thing, and we tend to put off.  ~sighhhh~   One of those calls, which go to a machine, to which you have to speak...   Then the machine tells you how long it estimates, you will have to stay on the line, till you get a human being.  ~sighhhhh~

~

And you then listen to canned music (loud) and canned selling messages.    The especially bothersome ones are, those which tell you, how wonderful their company has been voted, for customer satisfaction.  Hahhhhhhhhh!!!

Btw, I did this, last week!!!!!!    But the *gentleman* I talked to then, seemed to have an *attitude.*    And I never got the necessary e-mail, he said I would get.  Hmmmmm........    

~

But the young man I got yesterday, was very nice.   I was so very pleased, to deal with him.    You know how you often are told (by the machine) that "your call may be monitored"?    When finished, I thanked him again, and said;  "If this call is being monitored, I want to tell you, that this person is a very gracious employee."  ...

And then, my 'good day' was not over!   NHL Hockey began last night.     We watched an exhibition game, in Toronto, between the NY Islanders (!!!!!) and the NY Rangers.    It was a lovely beginning.     Both teams stood across the ice.     The US National Anthem was played, and then the Canadian National Anthem.     No posturing.   No kneeling.    No nothing.    These men stood, and showed respect for both countries. 

 .

They had come, to play the game.

How refreshing, for a sporting event.
