THE CHAIR…….

A few months ago I found the perfect lounge chair for myself.  It was not cheap, in fact it is the Cadillac of chairs and set me back over 150 dollars but it is an amazing chair and I shall spend hours sitting, sleeping and watching out from it.l,,

In my story above about my day when I posted the photos of strawberry washing in the park with the kids playing football in the back ground, I omitted to say that before I washed the strawberries I pulled out my chair and sat and read a couple of chapters of my book,  I know retired life is tough!!!

After giving the boy his key chain I got back into Ramona around 4.30pm and headed for the Aquatic centre.  After swimming and coming back to Ramona I then drove out to Wal-mart where I hope to spend the night, by now it is 7.30pm and I realize to my horror of horrors I don’t have my chair.

How could I be so stupid????   I don’t want anyone to answer that!!!!!   I had left the chair at the park!!!  So I packed up in the pitch dark night and drove back about 20 blocks to the park thinking to myself well something had to wrong sooner or later.

As I turned the corner and stopped where I had about three hours ago there was my chair in exactly the same position I had left it in!!!!!!

I could not believe that such a chair left in a neighbourhood that I would describe as the other side of the tracks would still be there.

This is not really a story about a chair it is a testament to the wonderful people and kids of Lompoc and their honesty to a silly old Canadian man!!!!  Thank you….
