Hi Everyone! Daylight Savings time is in full swing and I trust that you are taking advantage of it. I’ve begun to spend more time on our front porch. While sitting outside one evening, I noticed that portions of our property are clothed in tiny white daisy-like flowers that make for a most pleasant view, from the front porch. Mother nature definitely does not need the help of a human being to create splendid things both large and small.

Reflections:
*Honesty: I lost my debit card between a gas station, a fast food restaurant and home. I called both places of business and searched my vehicle & purse numerous times for the card, but did not find it. A few days later, I visited that same fast food restaurant’s drive-thru. One of the managers filling my order informed me that my debit card had been placed in their safe, after a customer found it on the ground and turned it in. Now, we all know that purchases can be made without the use of a PIN#. Though I took action to replace the debit card, there was still time to use it while I searched for it. I just wanted to share that there are still honest people in our communities, perhaps more than we can imagine. #ThankYouForBeingHonest
*God Bless You All, GPigott*
