Ouch! Did anyone come to help you?

A friend of mine has a funny story about Rose Kennedy. My friend, Mary — rather aggressive herself — got into a battle over a counter of marked down, designer wallets at an end of the season sale at a boutique in Palm Beach. End of the season in Palm Beach is around April 30.

Mary was scrambling through this pile of name brand wallets, grabbing Christmas gifts for her kids and their spouses. There was another lady there doing the same thing, and she kept grabbing the wallets that Mary had set aside. Mary would grab them right back. She finally gathered her pile and took them to the clerk to check out.

Mary’s friends (who had been watching with some amusement) said, on the way out of the store, “Do you know who that was? That was Rose Kennedy!”

Mary had been so focused on grabbing the bargains that she’d never looked up to see the face of her competitor. Rose was in her 90s at the time.

That is a great story about Rose!

For me, my mom said I had guardian angels looking out for me or I would have expired by age two. :)

The horse missed my rib cage by a hair. I walked away with more horse sense and a bruise which I hid from my family so as not to give them another funny sara story tell to their grandchildren. They have a whole book already.
