Close Encounter

It's Funny Friday

Whew, what a week. M and I had so many errands to run. The first stop was the post office - no biggie- I watched the packages while M drove. I didn't go in cause I was tired.

Next stop - Goodwill - and that is where I met a close encounter of the scary kind. When M got back into the SUV from the post office I had climbed into the second row of seats to rest. I settled down on a nice soft bunch of fabric and sorta dozed off. All of a sudden I was being handled - not by M but by a stranger.

I opened my eyes and a man was reaching for me - I screamed - M screamed - the man screamed. We all screamed - but not for ice cream. "NO! NOT HER" M screamed, "not the bear just the pile of fabric". Whew...

I was dazed, in shock, frightened, but M to the rescue. She introduced the man to me and he shook my paw and said, "why Miss Prudence it is a pleasure meeting you, I know you from your Blog". "Huh, me - you know me", was my reaction.

I looked at M and she had a twinkle in her eye (not a Twinkie, although I was pretty hungry) and I'm not sure if that man really reads my Blog or if M told him to say that. But I did relax and managed to smile at him.

I was exhausted....but one more stop, the grocery store. Again I opted to stay put so M took my Halloween shopping bag with her and told me to wait cause I was going to be very surprised.
