What is a Legacy?

Is a legacy leaving land, riches, or fame?  Most would say yes, but I disagree.

I spent the last week with 5 of my Grand kids.  I see my Legacy in them. 

To most people they seem like normal little kids.  To me, I see myself.  My legacy.

I took 2 of my Grandsons varmint calling.  They are 5 and 8.  Pretty tough for them to sit quietly and wait for a critter to come calling.  But we had a coyote come by and of course I missed!  And so it begins. Another generation of stories and memories.

I told them how I was 5 when I got to go on the only hunting trip with my Grandfather before he died and how much that meant to me.  They asked little kid questions like "Would you rather be eaten by a Coyote or shot with a gun?", really deep stuff.  The same questions I asked at their age.


And so my legacy moves on, not fame or fortune but time spent together creating memories.  And that is priceless.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished!

On Tue. Kay was getting lunch at a drive thru. As she got to the window the window person informed her her lunch had been paid for by the woman ahead of her! How nice! She had no idea who she was.

As she told me this I thought, "What a great gesture! I should do a good deed this week too."

So today I am driving down the Truxtun extension and I see a guy next to an office building on the ground with a wheelchair tipped over next to him. 

What a great opportunity to do a good deed!  I had to drive around the office building and find a parking lot near where I thought he was. I got lucky and pulled up very close to him. I got out and called to him with no response.  I crawled through the bushes and walked up to him and asked again if he was OK?

He never even looked at me but gruffly said "Leave me alone! I'm sleeping." obviously drunk.

I wish I'd been behind the lady at the drive thru!
