2GN2S ...
So a lot of people like this picture. So I wanted to take a minute to tell the story. Milton West was my childhood next door neighbor. I knew him as Mr. Chip. He retired from DOW chemical as an operator. He has always been there for me since I was two years old. Growing up without a father was always difficult for me. But the good lord surrounded me with great men, Mr. Chip was one of them. He constantly preached the value of an education, taught me how to take care of a yard, he taught me to see people for who they are not what they look like, he taught me how to treat my mother like a saint and many other life lessons. His contributions to me becoming a good son, man and father were huge. I am forever grateful for God putting him in my life.
So this past May my wife and I had a little boy named Bob Wayne Shugart. When Mr. Chip and his wife Shirley saw him they fell in love with him. They babysit him sometimes and we go and visit when we can. The last time we were over there Mr. Chip said he wants to be called “POP”. He says that’s his grandson. So we had to come up with a name for his wife. We decided on Lolli!! So we tell Bob Wayne we are going to see Lolli Pop!!! I’m grateful that Lolli and Pop will be apart of my sons life. If he learns half the things from Mr. Chip as I did, he will become a great son, man and father.
I hope this is a positive loving message to many people. This is just one story in little ol' Victoria, Texas. I am sure there are millions of similar stories across the United States.

Nice uplifting story about kindness: loved it. Also enjoyed the short film on octopus'. There is a documentary about them. It might be called: "My Octopus". I would highly recommend it.
Thank you Jacki, for the nice start to Saturday.
The three blocks of color or lines of color are ingenious. :-)
Thank, Carrol. Yes there are a number of octopus videos, I haven't seen the documenary , but I plan to. Wishing you and Stan a great weekend!
Thanks, John, a lucky accident I think?
Thanks for another lovely 2GN2S story. To know kindness is there more often than we usually think makes me feel much more comfortable. I don't need all those bad news on tv or radio.
Have a fine Sunday.
Thanks again, Elenor. I love it when you like the blog. I agree that is comforting to read the "feel good" stories. I think we all need more of that. Happy weekend.
