A Bow

My husband suggested I post about this.

We went to dinner last night and I did something I have been doing for a least 30 years. After I remove my straw form it's wrapper (I am careful not to tear it) I roll it between my fingers until it is long and slender.I then fashion it into a bow and I leave it on the table for our wait person. I have had so many to ask about this and how to make it. I have had many big smiles and thank-yous over this small act of kindness.

Have a fantastic Week!!!!!!

That is just so sweet Mary... You are such a thoughtful person. I would never think of doing that (not that I could). ha

Just goes to show how it's the little things and acts of kindness that can mean so much! Such a delightful idea and one I will have to try next time I'm at a restaurant:-) xoxo

Hello Dear Mary!

What a sweet gesture, and I know it certainly made the wait person smile. Giving smiles is a wonderful thing to do, and you certainly do that for me.:o) Thank you for such a sweet post. Chat with you soon my friend.

Smiles...
