Josh's Lost and Found

My day off work is really off to a good start, and it is for our boy Josh too.  For several weeks now, his beloved green frisbee has been missing.  For whatever reason, this is his very favorite thing in all the world.  If you look at his pictures over the last few years, you'll see that this torn, dirty and worn out green frisbee is almost always present or nearby.  So when he lost it,  of course I tried to find it for him, but couldn't.  Knowing how much he loved to carry that frisbee around and play with it, I tried to get him to find a connection with the exact same kind of frisbee, but a much newer and cleaner one.  Needless to say, it didn't work.  They were only cheap substitutes for the one he really loves.

Having said that, you could see why I cheered this morning when we were out for our walk, and Sheba came to me with the beloved, lost, dirty green frisbee in her mouth--Of course she won't tell me where she found it, but it didn't matter, she found it!  I took it from her, and showed it to Josh who had wandered into the 'forbidden zone' of the yard--When he saw it, he immediately came running to me to be reunited with his beloved green frisbee.  

As I've said before, it really is those little things that make you smile, don't they?  

So, how do you top that for the rest of the day?  Well a couple of friends are coming over this afternoon to help me with the clean up of the old shingles from the barn roof.  The work is mostly completed, but there are still some things that need to be 'tweaked' on it, that I hope will be easy fixes.  But Carl, (who continues to recover uneventfully), and I have been the recipients of several acts of kindness and friendship, and for that we have been humbled, and are grateful.  I hope you are having a good Thursday too!
