Nothing big to report on today, but I just had to mention an incident that took place about an hour ago that has me smiling. On my way to the market for a few things, I stopped into a surf shop that was just next door. I’d never been in there before, but I thought maybe they would have a black pair of Reef flip-flops I needed. The shop was filled with skateboards, surfboards, body boards, and very colorful tropical sportswear and beachwear. The young man behind the counter, sporting a little blonde goatee and wearing his cap turned backward, smiled at me and asked if he could help me.
“Yes,” I said. “I need more wax for my surfboard.”
Without batting an eye, he pointed to a corner and said, “All our waxes are over there.” I started laughing and told him I was only kidding. I just needed some Reefs.
“Well, from the looks of you,” he said, “I thought you were serious.”
Gotta love that boy!
Coming East 
Check your mail box later next week, got you something from China 🙂
We are getting lots rain in San Antonio this summer, flood did not last for longer than a few hours, my neighbor told me.
Yes, heard about the flood, Amy, but didn’t get many details. Glad you are back from China safely.
Whatever makes you smile is a good thing. BTW, have you tried FitFlops?
I’ve heard of them Lulu. I need to go online and see who sells them around here and try a pair on.
There you go, Susan, fit for surfing! Glad that made your day, that would make mine, too.
I think of that moment every time I wear those flip-flops, Jiawei.
Damn! I was right. On our beach walk the other day I said to Patty, “That looks like Susan out there hanging 10!” She owes me an apology.
Shame on Patty for doubting me!
That’s what I would call excellent customer service! 😉
He just probably knew a surfer babe when he saw one, Mama. I’m sure that’s it.
He saw the adventurer in you!
Ha! Thank you, Daughter, for saying I was an adventurer.
Moments like that are precious! So is that wonderful young man. 🙂
He really was a sweetie, Dor. And he spent so much time with me, trying to find the perfect flip-flop. It wasn’t as if he were just trying to make a sale. I could tell he just wanted to make sure I got my flip-flops.
Don’t tell me you bought a surfboard today.
Yes, Patti, that’s our next adventure!
Ok! Just let me verify my life insurance is in order.
Fantastic, Patti! I’m proud of you for being so daring. I will enjoy watching you from the shore, relaxing in my beach chair, iced tea in hand.
With camera, no doubt. Maybe we could win money on a home video show with it. 🙂
Absolutely! America’s Funniest Videos!
Obviously this smart, fully sighted young man, knows a good thing when he see it. I feel frequent visits coming on.
Yes, LWTTD. I think I need a pair of Reefs in every color.
Great kid. His mama obviously raised him right!
You are darn right, Patti R!
Why not? I’m sure you wouldn’t be the oldest surfer out there!
Haha, Lisa. I’d be shark bait, I’d be in the water all the time.
Too cute; he’s a valuable employee! (By the way, my son has a pair of black Reef flip flops he’s had for YEARS…!)
I love Reef flip-flops, Dianna. My black ones are about worn out, though.
Nicely done! (Both of you.) 🙂
I still get a chuckle out of it, Robin.
Oh, extra bonus points 🙂
For me, or for him, Angeline? LOL
Yes, we need more people like that!
Oh, you mean honest people like that you man, HG? LOL
