My Kiwanis Club is having a Character Breakfast for preschoolers that is like the Disney Character breakfast where there are people dressed as pirates, superheroes, princesses, etc. who wander through the crowds to entertain the little ones as they enjoy their brunch foods. Last year, it was a sell-out with 250+ tickets sold and we hope this year will be just as successful. I have worked my heart out on having signs printed, helping with decorations, etc. Today, I was out delivering flyers and brochures to the day care centers around town. After I dropped off my last flyers, I drove by an antique store and decided to stop in and have a look. I had my eye out for Christmas dishes that might be on sale after the holiday. I didn't find any, but I did find a gorgeous set of 11 champagne flutes. (Obviously, one was broken from an original set of 12, but who cares.) I bought the whole 11-piece set for $21.30! What a happy surprise that was. I could say I was grateful but it was more like pure, childlike joy about the treat I had gotten. It was as if somehow the universe had rewarded me personally! I am still smiling.

OH JK @contentandwell - interesting that your son is in Denver. Mine moved there a couple of years ago from Raleigh, NC. His wife is from there. I love visiting!
