I'm surrounded by love

 Everywhere I look 


An example... my second ride to work every day.  He started out OK but has gotten very angry and drives like it - unpleasant to experience for an hour a day.  He curses out other cars and passengers.  Pretty much you'd say a lost cause, someone who's going to walk off the job one day, certainly not going to bid on the same route in January.  

Until she came along.  She stood up front and they had animated discussions for weeks.  It's very cute to watch.  Today he took it up a notch, when he got to her stop he put the bus in park (not something they generally do), opened the security door, stood up, embraced her, and gave her a big kiss before she got off.  

It made the romantic in me sigh.  Better than a Hallmark movie.  

I am a sucker for the grand romantic gesture.  One of the nicest things Ron ever did for me was sing me a love song in the foyer of our Walmart, with the greeter and customers looking on, some smiling, some laughing, one or two storming by shaking their heads.  

I try to focus MY romantic impulse into agape love; I'm making a gumbo to share with my friends, I did a Bible Handout.  

That was an interesting discussion with Buddy today "What did you do for Thanksgiving?" "Oh I went to Acres Homes and did a Bible Handout".  "Oh yeah you said you were going to..."  

So I've got my gumbo simmering.  



I also finished my Christmas cell phone holder.  Last year (for reasons I can't share) my boss got very upset when she saw me in a Santa hat but this should be fine, besides you can't really see it under my vest unless I pull it out to look something up on my phone.  

I am cooking the rice, I did 2 cups dry.  The gumbo will have a lot of flavor so I didn't season the rice.  Besides gumbo is traditionally served with plain white rice.  I have a literal gallon of soup in that pot so I will have plenty to share.  

I sent Buddy a text, also one of my bosses who occasionally likes my food, plus I have a bus driver (gay), and two female co workers all down for a bowl of gumbo.  That should take care of most of it  

That's it for now!
