Serendipitous

I think there is a movie called Serendipity, and it is one of Vic's favorites. He has quite a few favorite movies: Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, The Bourne movies, Crocodile Dundee, and the Taken movies with Liam Neeson. Probably more. Oh, yes, one about a little girl and a horse. I can't remember the name of it.

Anyway, one day, when Vic was in the shower, the doorbell rang. I usually tiptoe to the door and look through the peephole and maybe I'll answer it, but most the time I do not. Especially if Vic isn't here. So he's in the shower, the doorbell rings, for some reason I opened it. A man was standing there and enquired about the Aurora automobile in our driveway. He asked if it was for sale. I did not know, I thought we were just going to donate it to one of those charities that takes cars. It had been sitting there in the driveway for 4 years. So, since Vic wasn't available, I gave him Vic's phone number and asked his name and phone number to give Vic. I asked hs name. "Paul Martin" he replied. "Paul M-A-R-T-O-N, I asked. "He gave me a funny look and replied that was right, that was his name. I then asked, "Rusty's friend?" And it was Rusty's friend! I told him who I am and Vic came to the door. He and Paul talked for about an hour in the living room. We gave him the car and he has been working on it ever since. Rusty was my brother, but he passed away. Last I heard, Paul was in Michigan or Minnesota or somewhere not here. Rusty lived with him for a while in Idaho. I had not seen Paul in many years and did not recognize him and he didn't recognize me. Serendipity. Co-inkee-dink, yes?

Has anything like that ever happened to you? Once in awhile, I will happen to think of a person I knew in the past just out of the blue. I figure God wants me to pray for them, so I do. 

Have a good week, it is Spring Break for the teachers and kids. I hope everyone has safe travels. 

The flowering trees around town are in bloom.
They are so pretty.
