Hello,
Yesterday while out shopping my phone
rang. Since it was Leroy’s ring tone, I thought I better answer. Much of the
time I do not answer if I am shopping. But these days I do not ignore Leroy. I
said, “Hello Leroy?”
A male voice replied, “This is not
Leroy.”
I thought in a bit of a panic, “What
has happened to Leroy, why is someone else using his phone?”
The voice proceeded, “Everything is
fine. I am Jim. I work with Leroy.”
My heart rate slowed down. As he proceeded
to tell me that I had won second place in the raffle, my heart rate accelerated
a bit. Wow! That is amazing. I got to chose between a nice amount to spend at a
bike shop or a hot tub. Because we like bikes and have no place for a hot tub,
it was an easy choice.
When Leroy bought the raffle tickets
he, who does not usually buy such, said to me, “I don’t expect to win, but I
want to support the museum.” He had to put my name on the ticket as employees
could not win. I suspect he will get a new bike. He told me I could, but he has
been talking about getting a foldable trike for some time now. That would be a
bike that we could store even in the back seat of the smaller cars that we drive.
That type of trike should fit in the garage. What a gift for us to enjoy
spending. Someone had donated money and the bike shop added more for accessory
purchases.
I cannot say I have never won
anything. I did once win $100 at the grocery store which was great since we had
all three children at home at the time and $100 went farther than it does now.
The phone named the caller Leroy
because I have his work number in the phone under his name.
