I FINALLY got to attend the annual Mushroom Festival.
I’ve wanted to go for many years but always had
other stuff going on – hard to believe, right?

HAD to get some breaded mushrooms –
of course they were DELICIOUS!!

this was a fabulous tree on a side street.
Not sure what it was but the man in
front of me knew!! that’s what made me
pay attention to it.
It looked better in person.
Here it just looks like a regular old tree.

If you can make just one person smile today,

if only by giving them one of yours,
it just might change their entire week…
which just might change their entire life.

I know these things.
