My (step) dad and I went to lunch as we do every day. There are only three restaurants to choose from in the small town that I grew up in. We chose the Depot Diner like we do at least once a week. It's kind of the hang out for area farmers.
Coming from a farming family, I know most of the area farmers. A good family friend, Dallas, who is a farmer was sitting at a large round table with two men that we didn't know. There were two empty seats and the rest of the tables were full. He invited us to pull up a chair. A middle aged gentleman was introduced to us and he introduced his son in law to his right. I shook hands with both men and the older man said, and I quote, "You have the most beautiful hair. It looks like golden sunshine and spring all rolled into one. It makes me happy." I giggled as I watched the other three men check out my 'do.
We had a fun lunch chit chatting about the world. The two newcomers were very interested in what everyone else had to say and were also very polite. I really enjoyed my time.
The waitress came around and handed out the bills. We didn't get one so assumed that she didn't have it ready. When my dad went to pay, the older man said, "Your money is no good here. I feel great today. Ask me how the seed business is." So we each did as he asked. He informed us that this had been a business lunch and it was on him.
I did think that my hair did look fabulous this morning as I got ready. Now I know it wasn't just me that thought it. *laughing*

Cadbury~Hair on my head as opposed to, say, my back? Haha!
