A Package of M&M's

Hello and happy new year everybody !! I want to inform that we now have  more memory for our blog and I can add as many pictures as I want now so the thanksgiving and halloween  thanksgiving and christmas of 2010 will be up soon. But first of for this new year I wanted to tell you the cutest story.  David got me a sewing machine for Christmas and I have been going crazy ever since. All I think about now are quiet books and vintage stuffed animal patterns and cute clothes for evie. So to inspire me david and I went to joanns and hancock fabrics when we got to hancocks I sat down at one of the  pattern catalog tables and sitting next to me was a middle aged african american man . I said hi and chatted with him  then david pulled up with evia in the shopping cart, evia loves shopping carts and was already excited .  and when Evia saw the man she would not take her eyes off of him and she was giggling and smiling at him he looked at her and laughed saying " All children like me just cause I look like a big chocolate bar" He then saw her  princess and the frog shirt and said  "Your daughter is so cute and I like that she is wearing the Black princess shirt, I'ts about time they had a black princess,  the shirt looks good on her" This man was so funny and sweet with evia. He later caught up to david in the store  and asked  him "So what are you dong here does your wife teach you to sew and david said no I am actually teaching her " the man seemed appalled and asked "Well aint that supposed to be the other way around?" And as we were checking out with some  cute patterns that were on sale  he was in front of us he turned around and he asked " Well what is her favorite treat , what does she like? Let me guess by the way she looked at me earlier, I'd say she likes chocolate!" I said yes she loves any type of sugar, he then picked up a bag of M and M's  and added it to his purchases I thought he was just getting a treat for his daughter , then he turned around and gave the candy to evia  and said here just cause your so cute , her eyes got wide as she saw the candy and squealed in delight. We said  many thankyou's  and as he left he waved and said now you nice folks have a great day yall hear".  I may never see that man again  but he will never know how much this touched  me for a complete stranger to buy my sweet daughter some candy, is was so sweet  and yet very profound.  This world that we now live in is filled with terrible things and is cares me to think that evia will soon be out there in that world, But seeing this mans simple act proved to me the world is still filled with wonderful people and experiences, and simple moments in a fabric store can sustain and lift your spirits.
