Happy New Year

Yesterday we spent the day running around. We went to see Janelle's 94 year old grandfather and then went to Opry Mills and Opryland Hotel. On the way shopping, we stopped at a McDonald's to grab a bite at the drive through.....between the time I ordered and the time we got the food, both boys had fallen asleep. I asked Janelle to pull their two cheeseburgers out of the bag and give them to me. As we were pulling away I passed a homeless man and handed him the cheeseburgers and wished him a happy new year. He put the burgers in his pocket, smiled real big and said thanks. We drove off and continued our errands but we felt better because of our random act of kindness. Start your year off better, do something for someone who cannot give anything in return except a thank you.

By the way, Christopher liked the "jungle" at the Opryland Hotel the best. He had a big grin on his face walking through there and was laughing and singing while daddy sang "In The Jungle."
