old people make me laugh!
I have to share this hilarious story with everyone...so yesterday I woke up feeling good and decided to run to my friend's house which is out West C, almost to Enochville. I was running along, already past the Y, and this car pulls up alongside of me as I run and it just stops. I turn and look, and in the driver's seat was the cutest old grandpaw ever. He had his worn-in demin overalls on, with his tattered John Deere hat, and cute glasses, chompin on his tobacco. This grandpaw was OLD. And he looked at me and smiled. So I stopped running, thinking maybe he needed directions cause he was lost or something. Then he just smiled a big ol' grin, and said in a grizzly grandpaw sort of way, "Honey, I had to pull you over cuz you were speedin.' I need to give you a ticket!" Then he laughed and gave me a great big two-teeth grin and told me to have a good day. haha! I laughed. This old man had stopped just to smile and give me a laugh. He didn't even care about the cars piling up behind him. haha. It sure did make me laugh and gave me a little boost of energy to keep on running. That's what it's all about ya'll. :-)
