I'll have to look it up. People at the golf course said that the trail is closing to enlarge the dam. 🤔 OK, but what water?😄 But anyway, another round of exercise. 👊
I think we've been adopted. The Girls invited us out for dinner to The Boiling Crab. Then ice cream at After's right after dinner. Heck yeah I ate ice cream. 😁
It's funny because both girls are so tall, like 5'8 and Gina is the shorty at 5'3. 😄 Then the funny part, at the end of the night, they said, "you guys get along so well, don't you ever fight?". 😆
Both girls have been so sweet to the both of us. Funny that a couple girls would want to hang out with us. Well, if we've been adopted, I guess they're our Girls now. 😆😄😆
I was surprised Tuesday ha ha ha! I go to the mall for tacos on Mondays, sometimes a Friday. But as mentioned, I see a lot of mentally challenged people in the food court for during lunch time. I saw one lady, looks about 45 years old using a walker. I had seen her before collecting the plastic bottles. She's with a little group of 4 with a caretaker dude with them. So one day, I walked by her table after I was done with my water bottle offering it up to her to see if she would take it. I wasn't even sure if she could talk or not but hey, she is recycling bottles so why not get something out of it, so I gave her my bottle then she smiled and said thank you and her caretaker smiled at me giving me a thumbs up.
So another time I see her again and give her my bottle once again after I finish my lunch. They leave then later I sat at a bench playing on my computer when they walked by. She rolled her walker by then looked up at me and pointed me out saying Hey!. Then the caretaker guy once again smiled with a thumbs up. I told the guy I had a bottle but tossed it seeing they left before I was done and he said that was cool, no porblem.
The next time I saw them there, they finished but left before I could give the lady my bottle. So today, they were there again but left before I could finish BUT...I had seen them walk by the high bench table where I play with my computer. So I took my bottle with me figuring they would walk by.
Then I saw them coming by then she waved at me so I showed her that I had the bottle. She came over then I asked about how much she makes with the bottles. She said last time was about $11. Nice!
So I gave her the bottle then handed her a dollar as well saying that would cover the last time I wasn't able to give her my bottle. She really surprised me as she shouted out really loud across the mall, " WHOO HOOO, I'M RICH!!!!". 😆😄😆
Then she asked me my name so I said Fred. I asked her name then she said Nancy Reagan. I don't know if she was yanking my chain or that was really her name. I told her that it was good that she did all the hard work to recycle. She looked really happy then said, "I'm so proud of myself, most people won't even talk to me." 😔
Not sure why she said that but she looked really happy with the bottle and the dollar. Only thing I can think of is that looking at her, I don't think most people would figure she could communicate. But it was really cool to make her day and every time they go by, she seems happy to see me. 😊 She did take me by surprise with the loud WHOO HOO, though. 😄
