The girls and I met our driver Wednesday. Prior to our meeting, hubby has been riding with him daily. On Monday when he came home I asked him how the driver was and what his name was. His response was, "We didn't talk and I didn't ask his name"
Tuesday - same thing.
Hubby - "I think his name is Ramesh."
Me - "Did you talk?"
Hubby - "We said Good morning."
For those that know Hubby, this comes as no shock. He is very much an introvert. He is quite content riding in a car with a complete stranger and not speaking. I, on the other hand, am a complete opposite breed. I want to build relationships with all those that are around me. . .and if I decide I don't like you. . .I will stop talking to you.
Wednesday comes. The Mr. tells the driver that he needs to return to pick me and the girls up so we can run errands. When he arrives, we load up and go about our business. We were on the search for swim goggles and groceries. Somewhere in the mix we found and stopped at McDonalds. The girls welcomed the familiar but Olivia was bummed that they only sold chicken not hamburgers. Se La Vie - we move on.
After driver drops us girls back to the hotel and then picks up Hubby - Hubby then asks about my day with driver.
Hubby - "How was your day? How was the driver?"
Me - (pausing because I didn't know how to tell him . . )
"Umm. . .His name isn't Ramesh." (Hubby thought that was his name because on the side of the driver's car it says Ramesh Cab Company)
"His name is Sagum. He is married with 4 daughters. All of them married. He also has 7 grandchildren."
That, my readers, is a fine example how the Mr. and Mrs. are different.
Our new little friends
Life in a posh hotel can get stir crazy - especially for the kids. Luckily, the good Lord knew we were coming and also sent to this hotel another family that has two girls. All the girls have become friends and we almost daily have swim dates. This helps the girls get out energy and socialize. This also helps the mommies not to lose their minds. On the second day of our pool meetings, I wore my Calvary Church shirt that my good friend, Shelly, gave me. This just opened the door to a whole world of conversation. The mom is also a believer and we have talked openly about our faith.
Makes me happy!
