This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| My brother had an idea about a man we know who is thinking about retiring, maybe. . . some day. He thought we should get his ideas about his work down on paper before it's too late. Some of his customers might like it. So I'm running one small section up the flag pole: Two customers had a conversation among themselves one day. One lady said she had been following Mr. Harry for over 20 years. The second one said that she’d been following him probably more than 30 years. The first lady remarked, “Well, I hope for our sakes, he’s going to Heaven!” The Best Part Mr. Harry’s favorite thing about the meat business has been the customers. He’s enjoyed the wholesale years getting to know caterers, chefs, and restaurant owners. He knew businesses, not just in town, but all over central part of the state. He always had tales about his fellow employees. He became attached to people and felt compassion for them. He loved to repeat their funny stories about where they came from. He played lots of jokes on them, too. He would tell the stories of that, and how each one cussed him out. Eventually, they all would forgive him and keep on going with their own tales. He liked his retail customers, too. His favorites were the children who shopped with their parents. As the years went by, the kids would stop coming in. Then on trips home from college, they’d come in and speak to him. He was always thrilled to see them and catch up with them. One had a pet nick name for him. Many would come back as regulars with kids of their own. |
