A Grand World of Thanks!
I was stuck in traffic the other day on my way to work. I was wearing my usual work ‘do of skirt, shirt and high heeled sandals. I won’t even describe how horrible the traffic was, afraid that I might use some obscenities. Just believe me when I tell you that you wouldn’t want to be caught dead in that traffic. Well, inch by inch we moved and I learned that there was an accident that caused this massive headache. Thankfully after the site of the accident traffic eased up. So I stepped on the gas and hello, I lurched forward, felt the gas pedals harden, and I stopped. Just literally stopped and the car won’t budge! What was I to do in my ultra femme do? Out I got of the car and did the things I always do when I get into something I can’t handle – I get my mobile phone and call on my friends for help. But even before I completed the call, some gentleman (with a very nice car, I might add) stopped and asked me if I needed help – did I ever! Cut the story short, he drove me to work, and even helped me get the car towed and repaired.
The day after I 
immediately sent him a picnic basket full of chips and nuts. Ironically, it was called A Grand World of Thanks basket which attracted me even more to the basket – it perfectly expressed how I felt! So I sent him this gift basket, and he called me back to say thanks. Guess what, I’m meeting him for dinner tonight! I just wish my car won’t break on my way to the diner – perhaps I should take a cab, then.
