A Simple Outdoor Thank You

--by Aurelia, posted Apr 28, 2010

I have a friend who has been treating me to breakfast recently, and I wanted to find a way to repay her kindness. Her treats have been helpful since my husband has been unemployed for months, and money is tight. I came up with an inexpensive and effective way to let her know how much I appreciate her kindness.

I called and asked whether she likes egg sandwiches. Hearing her affirmative enabled me to share my plan: to make English muffin sandwiches with bacon, egg, and cheese, and take her to the park to eat them together.

We had a great time at the park. I picked her up early on a Saturday morning and brought along my little doggies, whom she loves. She thoroughly enjoyed eating and being outside in the sunshine, and my two doggies where the icing on the cake. We walked them all around the park and received a lot of pleasant attention.

I am delighted that I found an inexpensive way to give back to my friend, while also enjoying the experience myself. In fact, we plan on returning to the park for more fun again in a few weeks.
