Charlotte and Dolly.

“Today give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.” – Quoted in ‘P.S. I Love You’ compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Meet Charlotte & Dolly.

As soon as I got back to town, I treated myself.  I got a small cup of cappuccino and a donut.  Vista Donut was in Old Town Murrieta, a small town in California.  Mmmmmm… donut.

As I ate, Charlotte said hello.  Her son, Greg has climbed mountains all over the world.  She noticed my backpack and she wondered about my travels.  She offers me a ride and I accept.  (Although I am only going about 5 blocks away to the local library.)

Ladies Day Out.

Charlotte is from California.  She likes hiking and has hiked the Great Dome ( I think it is called).  She lives in a senior citizen community with her friend, Dolly.  Today they are on a ladies day out.  

Dolly is from Michigan, near where I am from.  But she has lived in California for over 50 years.

After we finish our coffee’s and donut, Charlotte, Dolly, and I pile in her car and drive 3 blocks to the fruit market.  Fruit is cheap here.  Charlotte buys me a banana for my travels.  

She drops me off about 2 blocks later at the library and gives me her address, phone number, and 3 big hugs.  “Just in case I need anything.”
