Here is our service/date afternoon from last Friday.
Mike and I signed up with his work for 4 hours of helping with the
Random Acts of Service day.
The 1st half
we were stationed at some doors and opened them for people to enter or leave
the Reliant Center where the shopping booths were
and the children's petting zoo and live stock (cows, today)
I loved noticing who would say thank you,
especially families where the kids and teens would say thank you too...
The 2d half
We were given 2 coupon books each for free and discounted food, rides and shopping,
to give out to people who we would catch doing random acts of service.
So that was interesting and a challenge in a place where people are really very self centered.
But we did find some good souls.
I gave mine to a lady who randomly picked up some stranger's
shopping bag that had fallen without her noticing.
The other one I gave to a lady who really complimented an elderly woman in the bathrooms.
Mike did not escape working for an hour 1/2!
I love people watching.
I loved looking at all the cowgirl outfits and especially boots!
Some Houstonians really can get into it!
Some were pretty cool, and some very over the top!
My cowgirls boots stayed in our car!
I chose comfort over style.
I knew we were going to be on our feet for hours...
But I did wear a cute cowgirl shirt, after our service shift was over! :)
My favorite Interesting people of the day:
***
This one lady asked us where we had bought our bright orange service tee-shirts!
She thought they were awesome and wanted one so bad!
Unfortunately they were not for sale, and if I would have met her at the end of our shift,
I would have gladly given her mine! hi hi!
***
This one interesting looking tall ponytail-back-country-lookin' older man
with an orange tee-shirt saying:
"You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me"
Mike asked him what they were saying?
He pointed at Mike and said:
" No "
Then pointed at me and said:
"Always yes!"
I must say, I agree with him, or should I say I agree with the voices?
hi hi...

This grandpa in a deep sleep on the mattress sample.
Probably waiting for his family to come back and get him after they were done shopping.
Doesn't he look comfy?
After the afternoon events, food and shopping
( I found the cutest scarf!)
We headed with the crowd to the actual Rodeo
We skipped the Concert.
It was some country singer we did not know.
We are both being kinda ignorant in the country music industry!
The Horse
Some crazy business!
Even more crazy business!
In all, we had a Wonderful time and it was good to be together!
Mike has been working some crazy hours!
