Every Day

Saturday on an ordinary visit to the state capital of Vermont, a father reprimanded a seven-year-old in  a music store and got him to laugh at the same time.

A Mom marched her son into and out of the kitchy-cool art supply store on the corner of Main Street before either of them got into too much trouble.

A group of bicyclists rode altogether in their altogethers through the center of town.

A teenager who swore he wouldn’t have any fun separated from his newly-earned computer was heard to say, “This has been a really great day,”  as a family of four that is too often going in four different directions came together for a meal that turned into a group meditation on how fun it is to spend an afternoon together.

And that’s something you don’t see every day.
