Those who have gone on trips to La Palma know that my dad (Ralph) frequently reminds us of the need to be flexible while there because our plans often change without much notice and our schedule is rarely set in stone. In September, he gave out rubber bands to wear on our wrists to remind us of this need. Little did he know that Gladys had planned ahead and had a special shirt made to wear that week. She'd had one embroidered to say, "I'm Flexible." Monday morning she put it on but draped a towel across her so that she could surprise him and we could all see his reaction to the shirt. As we circled up for breakfast, she began to give him a sad story about how she didn't need her rubber band anymore. Drawn into her story, he asked why not and she revealed the shirt and we all enjoyed a good laugh. It's hard not to smile when Gladys is around.
Dios le bendiga,
Lori
