Can't Help Posting Another Crumb!

Ooh! Inkblot just got the most wonderful and flattering news! What a crumb?! Her father, mother, and a family friend who is visiting all went to a Rotary function tonight. It was an end of the year shindig - basically food, friends, and some funny speeches. They had been thinking about not going, but decided they should anyway. (The family friend was wishing she didn't have to go chat up a bunch of strangers. And Inkblot's mother didn't really want to go talk to all her husband's friends. And Inkblot's father wasn't in the mood for a party.) But the point is, they went. Inkblot enjoyed some time to herself, but that's not really the point. They all come back from the party and... Inkblot's father was named Rotarian of the Year!! Inkblot is practically exploding with pride. He got to make a bit of a speech, in which he promoted the international study program that he runs with Rotary (what a self-less person). Inkblot's momma is so proud and so touched. Inkblot's father is slightly embarrassed, doesn't think he deserves it, but is deeply touched that they think so much of him. You see, they had no idea! No one knew because there aren't any nominees for R of the Y. Everyone votes for the person in the whole club that they think deserves it the most. So a bunch of people actually thought of him without being prompted. Inkblot loves her daddy so much!! She knows he must be a wonderful person if he does enough work with Rotary to be thought so highly of amongst his peers. What a beautfiul crumb?! It's just delightful! Inkblot would like to offer you the opportunity to post comments about the people in your life who are continuous cookie crumbs, surprising and delighting you all the time. Much love,
Inkblot
