1. Little girls who still draw horses and read books by L.M. Montgomery. I thought these were dying hobbies, for sure… but then on Sunday I actually saw two little sisters carrying their Green Gables books and pony-doodled drawing pads.
2. Grandpas. I never knew my own but I love when Chris talks about his. I’m glad I got to meet him.
3. The very nice airport security attendant who once assisted me when my bra set off the metal detector. She had to do her job and pat me down in that area, but she was gentle about it. That’s what I get for going the route of the extreme push-up.
4. My favorite bus driver, who always stops with the door right in front of me—even when other people are waiting. He’s not very talkative but he smiles all the time.
5. Kindergarten teachers who still recognize their students, years and years later.
