Throwback Post: Spa Day With an Outhouse Race Adventure While Eating Donuts
**THROWBACK POST**
October 1 2015:
Today was the day. That was wonderful. Loved the Caldarium! I hung out in the Secret Garden in the corner of the Caldarium before and after the wonderful massage. Had my own little hideout and even fell asleep for a little bit. Love that the cold plunge pool, indoor pool, and hot tub are salt water. Felt soooooooo good!!!Would love to come here again one day. So yummy!!
And since you get use of the spa all day, I went back for an hour tonight after picking Thomas up from school, feeding them dinner, reading to them, tickling them, and telling them a life story. More cold plunge, swimming, hot tubbing, and this time I experienced the steam room. WOW! That was so relaxing! Going to bed so grateful and blessed that I got to experience this!

I made the spaghettI sauce with Kymberlee’s awesome maters last night for dinner. Thomas and I loved it! We ate every last piece of spaghetti noodles. Still have sauce so we get to have more later this week! YUM!
Thomas says “You may not be the greatest cook but you make the best sauce ever!” Lillian adds,”You may not be the best bed maker, but you are a great teacher!” I’ll take that! Love those two up!

Another cool find in the GREAT EMAIL PURGE of 2013!! This one’s from a year or two ago. Newspaper clipping from the 1974 Manning Family Reunion! These people didn’t mess around. They ran these family reunions like a business. I was at this one but was only 4 years old so don’t remember it. My Mammaw is the 3rd one from the left in the back with glasses on … That Manning Family took these Reunions seriously!!

Throwback Post: Good Samaritan With Flowers and a Beautiful Day
**THROWBACK POST**

Thank you to the Good Samaritan who put the spare tire on Rosey. About 5 minutes after I asked for help on here, this gentleman was getting something out of his trunk parked next to me. I asked if he had time to put the spare on for me. Absolutely. He accidentally parked in the school parking lot.
He and his wife and daughter are here all the way from Hawaii visiting his dad in the senior rehabilitation center next door to HDMS middle school. His dad has Parkinson’s disease. As a thank you I gave all of them pieces of the almond cookie cake (with cream cheese frosting) that I had just served in Lillian’s classroom for her class birthday celebration.
The Good Samaritan even took the time to teach Thomas how to remove the flat tire and put on the spare. I say, Ask and ye shall receive …. And know that everything’s gonna be okay. xoxo
I know I can do anything if I must … And, although I know that there are people in this World who are so disconnected that they are unkind and have unkind motives; I do not feel I would attract such a person (and if they were near, my intuition would steer me clear). Location and the amount of other people in the area are something to consider too. We were in the school parking lot during dismissal with families coming and going in daylight hours. If it had been night time, in an unfamiliar place, and the only people in the parking lot; I perhaps would have handled differently. Lots of love and hugs to all y’all! xoxo Here’s what I delivered this morning to the Good Samaritan’s dad …

“Once you begin to acknowledge random acts of kindness – both the ones you have received and the ones you have given – you can no longer believe that what you do does not matter”. –Dawna Markova
Here’s to sharing a little kindness today, especially a smile . . . smiles have the power to part the clouds . . .
