Northern MN: Getting There
Serendipity and Kindness
Friday, June 16, 2017
Above: Ready to leave Northfield—Friday 8:45am
Bob said this day is about
Car miles and food.
My "take" is that is it about
Serendipity and kindness.
Arrived Walker motel late afternoon,
Tired, slightly dispirited.
Unloading, found that Bob had forgotten his
HELMET.
ARGH!
Woman at desk wrote down name of bike shop
In Walker—green house with purple door,
Shed around back.
Tiny space displaying only one of many items.
One helmet sized for Bob.
Fine fit.
Bike mechanic as creative as (my son) Rob—
Big heart,
Caring and listening.
How lucky to find just right person,
Just right time.
We are rearranging,
Repacking for tomorrow start-of-ride.
Safely equipped again.
Serendipity and kindness.
Hugs to all,
Lin
