Yard gifts

The story about the woman who bec ame angry and returned a yard gift left by her neighbor's dog helped me recall zsome presents my neigbors left me once. My front yard was littered with little packages wrapped in white tissue paper and tied with red ribbon. There must have been several dozen of these little bundles of rocks.

It seems my neighbors thought I had picked up their newspaper and brought it to their front porch. Now if I had done that, one would think they might have been gratgefull for they were in their eighties and it is a long walk down their drive to where their paper was usually delivered.

Life is much better when we don't take things so seriously.
