Birthday surprise
Birthday surprise
On Aug. 1, my wife and I were celebrating my 86th birthday with dinner at Picazo. I had fallen and scraped my hands and knees so the mood was not too festive, though we enjoyed the meal anyway.
When we were leaving, our waiter said the young couple across from us had payed for our meal! We were so surprised. Our mood brightened, the gesture restored the happy occasion and, more importantly, reminded us that good people care.
We didn't know them and couldn't get their names, but want them to know we really appreciate what they did. They really "made our day."
