The day was nice and cool, no rain, just right to spend a day enjoying life in our community.  In a small city of 30,000, there is not a whole lot to get excited about. So this annual affair complete with a parade, games, live bands, booths, and food was a big deal.  It&#8217;s a good time to corner your City Council members to make sure they hear your side on the issues.<\/p>\n<p>There was an important lesson that was learned today at the fair.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amidot.blogspot.com\">Amy<\/a> elatedly related to me her experience at the Staples booth. When the lady at the booth gave her a free folder, my daughter politely replied, &#8220;Thank you.&#8221; The lady handed her another folder and said, &#8220;Wow, you&#8217;re the only one who said &#8216;Thank you&#8217;! I&#8217;ll give you another folder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t believe everyone else took a free gift without saying &#8216;thank you&#8217;? What has our society come to?<\/p>\n<p>I always try to make a point of thanking the bagger at the market, the crossing guard at the school, the gardener, etc. A kind word should be expressed even to those who are paid to do the job. It doesn&#8217;t cost you any extra to say &#8216;please&#8217; and &#8216;thank you&#8217;, does it?<\/p>\n<p>Amy received a reward for merely expressing a common courtesy.<\/p>\n<p>You can figure out the moral of the story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a great day it was for the Walnut Family Festival!
