A Sunday of Love

Father’s Day, June 15, 2025.

First up, a photo shoot at a local outdoor mall. What fun!

Then to church, wow! I saw my friend Judy, slid in next to her, as I was in a row full of ladies and friends. She and I laughed and shared stories and I just melted into being a woman. Not a single human being there ever treats me like anything but a lady. All service, people made there was to me to wish me peace or a great day. The services featured a tear-inducing vocal quartet from the nearby high school. They were simply amazing and again, I was just taken by the love and beauty in that place. I smiled the entire time there.

Then it was errand time. A stop at Home Depot (in that dress). I stood in a long checkout line and chatted with some of the other ladies around me (acceptance). Then to the grocery store where the woman monitoring and helping at the self-checkout area was over-the-top sweet to me.

We then quickly hustled to the clothing exchange store I frequent, where another story occurred which I will get to shortly. Sold quite a bit, including the painful shoes worn just the night prior.

Next up, down to Playhouse Square where I was volunteering for the North Coast Men’s Chorus. I spent a bit of time tending to some work and then helped there. Hug after hug. Picture after picture. Love all around. What a wonderful day for me! Moving around the universe, looking adorbs, being treated so well by everyone and in so many varied circumstances.

Here is some more from my photo shoot.

I walked into Avalon Exchange and submitted my basket of clothes for sale. I had to run back out to get my phone from the car and then returned. A woman was seated waiting for her clothes to be assessed, and we struck up a conversation. She immediately took to me. We spent about 10 minutes together and here you go, pics with someone I literally just met.

Yep, time after time I am rewarded for just being me.

I just want to thank anyone who left a comment this week. I generally try to respond to all comments, but life got in the way, mostly good, some things challenging. That included a much needed, albeit brief, family vacation. Just know, whether or not you comment, you are loved and appreciated by the woman of the house here!
