Time Flies


Hello and welcome to this Blog. I hope it still keeps bringing you a bit of hope in your lives. I was looking through my photo album and it really seems that time flies in them. I like looking at the album, because it brings many memories and nostalgia. I’ve seen my children grow up through them; I’ve seen my friends’ weddings, baptisms, sweet sixteens, parties, and much more. Sometimes I wish the photos would come to life, so I can live those happy moments with them. As I was saying, photos are memories that will always stay in my mind and heart. I thank my family and friends for all the photos they’ve sent me and will keep sending.

Yesterday I read something that got my attention and I wish to share it with you. I hope you like it, too.

Sincerely,

Pedro.

Two Nickels and Five Pennies


When an ice cream sundae cost much less, a boy entered a coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?"
"Fifty cents," replied the waitress.
The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied a number of coins in it. "How much is a dish of plain ice cream?" he inquired.
Some people were now waiting for a table, and the waitress was impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she said angrily.
The little boy again counted the coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream."
The waitress brought the ice cream and walked away. The boy finished, paid the cashier, and departed. When the waitress came back, she swallowed hard at what she saw. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies--her tip.
