So Remember Last Year?

You probably don't remember what happened last year, so I will tell you. I had just had my hair done and my husband loved the new look, so out to dinner we went. We were seated outdoors next to a Canadian couple from London, Ontario. He smoked cigarettes like a chimney, and his wife kept sneaking peeks my way. Finally, she asked me where I had my hair done and I told her. I actually wrote it down on a piece of paper and included the salon, my hairdresser's name, the phone number, and my name. Well guess who walked into the salon yesterday when I was there? The woman still had that piece of paper with the information, although the name of the salon had changed. The woman remembered me, and set up an appointment for tomorrow. What a coincidence!!!! ~Professional photo of my granddaughter at Lake Placid, New York 6 days ago

Wow, so the woman came down from Canada again - and you just happened to be there ! Well I'm sure they'll do a great job on her hair and I'll bet the salon loved getting the referral!

@DianneN What? Is that how it works up there? Yah, I would think scheduling makes sense - that's crazy to just drive back at the drop of a hat like that! That's a pretty long drive just to make it to the salon !

She has a condo here and would rather live in the USA than Canada, but her family is up there. She told me she got a call for a surgery appointment, so had to drive all the way back to Canada. Imagine that? Here, we get scheduled and have a set date. It ruined her Florida time. At least she popped into the salon. Unreal!!!

I hope he will not smoke like a chimney in your presence. This is something I could not stand.

@DianneN You were lucky, the wind always blows the smoke in my direction. We have renounced to eat outdoor where smoking is still allowed. There are more and more places where smoking is forbidden also in the outside area of the restaurants.

@LadyDuck Most people don't smoke anymore, but these people were from Canada. Most restaurants don't allow smoking anywhere on their grounds anymore.

Uh, yes, me, too. The wind blew it in the other direction, since we ate outdoors. That was just another good coincidence.

@DianneN This comment went for a burton so I am writing it again. Nice to see you too and I was asking you if you have seen more of "Orville" while you are there in the Condo? Hope your Granddaughter does well in the Competitions.

@lovinangelsinstead21 Never heard that expression, but glad you returned. lol Oh, yes, Orville is here as I write. He's doing very well and stopped to show me a rather large fish and his son showed me a tiny fish. I still felt compelled to cheer and applaud. My granddaughter had a rather important competition last Friday, her first of the season, and took second place. We were all extremely pleased. She certainly has learned a lot since last year. Thanks so much.

@just4him Each year she learns more and more skills. Let's just hope she gets to Sectionals, then Nationals. As long as she loves it, she'll keep skating. She works soooo long and hard at it. Sigh.....

It's a small world. It took her a year but she finally made it there. Your granddaughter is headed for ice skating stardom. She has the drive, skill, and confidence to make it .
