2GN2S:
As you may know, I try to include a feel-good story every day.
Sometimes it is second hand or even recycled, but
today I got lucky. At 2 pm, I was standing at my kitchen
window where I often observe the microcosm of our village go by.
I heard horns honk. I couldn't see the end of the line as
they filed in. Mainly minivans driven by Dads in baseball
caps with Moms orchestrating young ones inside.
Happy Birthday signs, balloons, flowers, gifts, streamers
it was a celebration on wheels.
I watched frozen, as I couldn't believe how many honking cars.
Finally, I went outside and watched from a nearby post.
By this time, I deemed the event was for a beloved teacher.
And, gauging the ages, I decided she was a kindergarten teacher?
A birthday! The teacher was obviously surprised and thrilled.

I heard so many "I love you's" going both ways.
Near the end, I went home for my camera, and took a picture
of some parade vans and families, not ready to go home.

When they had finished the parade, I sheepishly went over
to ask if I could take their picture? They said yes.
I asked is she is a teacher? She said yes.
I said, kindergarten? She said yes in Mission Viejo.
She is Elizabeth and her husband, Donald?

She didn't know, but said her classroom aide had organized it.
A great surprise and her neighbors enjoyed it too.
Just because...
