After a very exhausting week, our family started out this morning with some homemade french toast with maple syrup.
And speaking of breakfast...
On Saturday morning, our family went out to breakfast. A couple we are friends with gave us a gift certificate to a local breakfast joint when we moved here. We have not been out to breakfast since we moved because it was the fast. So on Saturday, we decided to take advantage of the free morning for my hubby, and the gift card from our friends, and over to Crispy Waffle we headed. We took our time ordering and eating, and were really enjoying our family time together. About half way through our meal, the waitress walked up to us and said, "I just wanted you to know that your bill has been taken care of, so you can leave whenever you'd like." We just stared at her in amazement and asked, "what do you mean our bill has been taken care of?" She explained that some other people were sitting having breakfast, eyed our family and enjoyed watching how we interact, and also loved seeing that we were not sitting on any types of devices while out, so they chose to pay for our meal. We were so touched and incredibly shocked! What an act of kindness from a group of complete strangers! We felt bad that the people had already left and we couldn't thank them. We sat there and thought about this beautiful random act of kindness. It inspired us, and we also decided to pay for a group of people before walking out the door. We looked around and chose a family that looked like they were also very much enjoying their time together, and used our gift card to pay for that family. It really felt like the right thing to do. What these other people did for us made us feel so amazing, we wanted to do it to someone else, too! Who knows? Maybe those people we chose to pay for also decided to do it for another family. Wouldn't that be cool??
