A WEE MIRACLE

 

A WEE MIRACLE

The parking lot was a roll call of STATES west of the Mississippi PLUS Minnesota and Michigan = Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, ID, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska.  It was the Friday of the week when the RV Show and the Rock and Gem Show dissend on the sleepy town of Quartzsite just down Highway 95 from Parker AZ.  The self checkout line was back to the freezer section so I headed for a regular check stand, they seemed to be moving faster.

The elderly lady in front of me combed her short hair and spoke to the person in front of her.  “I know that voice,”  I thought, then she turned back to me.  “I know you,” I said and she introduced herself, so I did the same.  WE LAUGHED!!  We had visited her home while in Oregon, knowing that we would be neighbors this winter in AZ, but she had not arrived at the campground yet, but would later in the day!! 

Now what would the ODDS be that I would bump into someone I knew in an over packed WalMart here in the middle of the COLORADO River Reservation, miles from our campground and states away from her home?

I looked heavenward and said, “OK GOD,  I guess I am on YOUR radar, even in this ZOO!”
