The Good, the Bad, the Funny

Quite the week, and lots going on all of a sudden. 

The Good:   My parents are coming to AZ for a visit, and it is always good to see them!  I love when they come here, when they can see my house, when we can spend time together hanging out. 

The Bad:  My uncle Rodney passed away on Wednesday after fighting cancer off and on for many years.  He was a terrific uncle, and left behind kids, grandkids and great grandkids.  My mom and aunt are flying to Minnesota for the funeral, and I'm glad she decided to go.  Being able to have a little closure is very important. 

The Funny:  on Valentine's Day, I was helping out in the electronics dept, putting out some stock of new Skylanders character toys.  As usual with these kind of toys, they come in a case box assortment with different characters in each one.  A woman noticed I was opening a new box of items, and stopped, telling me her seven year old son collects Skylanders and has been wanting the latest ones.  I reached into the box and pulled out the first one, and she lets out a big "Oh My Gosh! that's it!"  I chuckled, then reached in for another -- same reaction, she sure was excited she had 2 for her son!  Then pulled out the third, it was the last one she needed for the collection.  She said her son was going to be SO happy, that she was going to be the hero of the day!!  Then she looked at me and said "I just have to give you a hug for this!"  And she did!   It made me smile all day :)

With all of that, I have a feeling it will be a very busy weekend! 
But that's ok -- it's all good!
Hope everyone else has a good weekend too!
