It’s been raining here in Brisbane for a couple of days, and on my way home from the shops I saw an elderly woman walking with an umbrella. I quickly did a u-turn and drove along asking if she had far to go and if she would like a lift. Her smile was broad as she…
WOW! I haven’t even begun this project, just planning with the smile stones and making them and already good things are happening to me. First a nice young man helped me with my garbage and shoveled the walk, whom I have never seen before. I went to the vet on Thursday and she said “I…
