I felt a tap on my toe. I raised my head, expecting me to see Sue and wondering what the problem might be. Unless there is a problem, Sue wouldn't bother me during my very brief afternoon siesta.
Typically, I recline in my chair for possibly a half hour, probably only nodding off for about 10 minutes and often less if at all. I am pretty sure that I had been off in the land of nod for only a few minutes when I felt the tap.
Oh my goodness! It wasn't Sue but a masked Danica standing at the foot of my recliner. I soon learned that she had biked over after school just to pay the ancient ones a little visit.
She removed her mask once we were sitting appropriately distanced in the living room. There we chatted amiably for about a half hour.
What a treat!
I often think that it is the little things that enhance a life: probably more than the, supposed, big things. I think I wrote of this recently in another post.
That was on Monday afternoon. Then, yesterday morning, our doctor to took the time to call us to make sure that we knew we were eligible to apply for the vaccine.
As you already know, we were aware, but we appreciated that little gesture of care and concern.
Little things.

Yes, it truly is the little things these days that can easily thrill (or amuse) so many of us. It was very nice that granddaughter Danica biked over to pay a visit and that your doctor called to advice you of vaccine eligibility. I'm sure both events really "made your day." Thanks for the compliment about my research efforts for my blog posts, much appreciated.
What a lovely gesture from Danica & a WOW from your Doctor's office. Just waiting to hear if it's all Ontario or just Toronto & Peel going back to Grey Restrictive Zones for 28 days. Our region had just moved into Orange. The grumbling will be unbearable ... I'll say no more for now.
I'm like you and can take a short nap that often lasts for ten minutes or less. What worries me though is on a rare occasion, something can pull me under much deeper and that could stretch out to 60 or 90 minutes and then when I finally do awake, I feel like a fuzzy headed sloth for another 30 minutes until I'm back to myself.
That was sweet of Danica to pay you a visit. I like that.
I whole heartedly agree with that statement "it is the little things". We experience them most everyday with family here.
Yay for loving granddaughters and thorough doctors.
Glad to know it won't be long now before you get the jab! :-)
Yes, and every little thing from a grandchild is a special thing.
It is payback time for all the time and love you have lavished on those kids. And that time and love has played a part in what great kids they are.

Wonderful and touching (pun intended) story! :)

We also have to recognize the little gestures. Too often we're "asleep" and miss them.
Good of her to do.
I think I prize visits with grandchildren most of all. They all have reached voting age except the sixteen year old.
So sweet about Danica.
That's a lovely surprise. I think we've become much more thankful for those small things during the pandemic. Your doctor was very thoughtful to call.
Absolutely! The little things are really the big things in life. :)
What a treat. That is so fun seeing the kid!
