Meeting Mary Poppins

Yesterday we met our own Mary Poppins.  It was a beautiful Saturday morning and we decided to go to the local farmer's market.  When we got there it had already turned hot and the market was really crowded.  We did a little shopping and decided to go get a cup of coffee and just people watch.  The market is on the square of an old southern town.  The square is lined with shops and tall old oak trees.  In the middle of the small park is a beautiful white gazebo which is often used for weddings or at the very least wedding pictures. 
As we were sitting outside a small shop enjoying our coffee and talking about when we should get another dog, an older woman walked by with a small puppy in her arms. She said hello and we began to talk.  We have been trying to decide when to get another puppy and hers was one of the breeds we have been considering. She was a wealth of information about not only her dog but dogs in general. She let us hold her puppy but it was quickly obvious he was much happier in her arms. As she walked away, stopping to talk to everyone on the street, we talked about what a coincidence it was that she came by at the very moment we were trying to decide when to get another dog. We also watched her as she walked. She made everyone smile either as she walked by them or stopped to chat.  She was dressed very nicely although just a little eccentric.  She had on a long blue linen skirt, a crisp white linen jacket, and black patent leather ankle boots. Along with her purse and puppy she carried her umbrella.  My husband and I both agreed we had just met our own very kind and helpful, Mary Poppins.  It was a great way to start the weekend.

PS:  We brought Chloe, our new puppy, home today.

What a wonderful story! I love the analogy to Mary Poppins. I'll have to look out for people like that who cross my path.

Yes, pleeeeeeze post a puppy pic. Nice story, meanwhile.

Love your "About Me", btw. I can relate to wanting all kinds of new adventures, but you get special kudos for a 160 lb. loss, wow! I just took up piano lessons last October & began running 2 yrs. ago. I think you're my kinda girl ;-)

Love this! Your story is great and I know that you were destined to meet up at that time and day. I believe that people turn up in our lives a just the moment we need them--even total strangers. :) Cheers, Stephanie (CED)

That is wonderful that you got the opportunity of meeting such a wonderful person. Usually topics discussed can attract other people within the same energy field, it is no consequence but fate. :)
Have a wonderful week, and keep enjoying creative every day.

A perfect little story, so vividly described I could see it all. It made me smile. What did you decide to do about a new dog?
