A Nice Little Surprise

When you see people you love in unexpected places it causes you to appreciate them more. Weird how that works sometimes. I was meeting with someone at Starbucks in Southtown this morning. When I finished up I wanted to run over to Target to pick up a few things (mainly my go-to fingernail clippers that someone in the family lost - I will protect their identity but hint hint...she is way too old to be losing things!). So I park my car at Target and as I'm walking towards the front doors I notice a familiar looking woman walking with three beautiful girls. The combination of my poor eye sight and not expecting to see the MIler girls caused a delayed realization that this was my family. My girls decided to walk to Rainbow (although I just realized Gretchen had a Cub bag. I wonder if grocery stores look down on that like if I brought a Starbucks latte into a Caribou or an Arby's roast beef sandwich into a McDonalds?) today and were beginning their walk home. I guess I somewhat rescued Gretchen because the girls were already complaining about the walk home. I don't really blame them since it is about 2 miles from our house. So Ponsi ran into Target with me while the others sat outside Target on a bench and I then gave them a ride home. I don't usually run into the girls out in public when they are doing whatever I read about them doing on Gretchen's blog but I realized once again today how blessed I am.
