DAY 22: COLOR MY WORLD

 

A young fellow in my neighborhood used to stop by with his wife and children a lot and would ask me to take their pictures, which I gladly did.

Once, I thought it would be fun for the kids if I turned some of their family pictures into coloring book pages.

Was I surprised when the Dad said, "Uh UH! I'M gonna color them!"

He was full of surprises for me. I'd known him a long time and had no idea he could play guitar. He saw mine sitting in a corner one day and asked if he could see it. I said, "Sure"...

He sat down on the couch and belted out a song and he really was GOOD on the guitar! He said his mother had taught him to play.

You just never know. These little surprises color my world.
