It's always so nice when you get treated in a special way when you are on a trip.
I try to be kind in the way I live my life, but I also appreciate kindnesses shown to me.
It makes me very thankful.
So here are a few kindnesses along the way!
I had a few nice 'antique' items I was ready to get rid of so I drove over to The Garage to ask the owner if she would want them. (a couple of big bowls, old cookbooks and a small child's chair) She was very happy. And I told her I didn't want to sell them, I wanted to donate them.
She looked around the store and said for me to pick out a Garage T shirt!
I liked the blue color, don't you? What a nice surprise!
Maybe next time we'll eat next door!
We drove down the hill to the Library so I took a few photos there too.
I can't go to NC without visiting my favorite library.
Another day, a neighbor gave me some ripe local peaches that she had bought from a farm stand.
Thanks to everyone that made our trip even more special!

what a great idea, to donate the items, and the garage is also a great idea and i see lots of stuff I like a lot. it is very odd that you have a red car that keeps photo bombing your photos. 😁😁
How nice that the Garage gave you a Tee! Those peaches look great.
Hello,
The Garage looks like a fun place to explore, I like the t-shirt too.
The peaches look tummy! Have a great week!
What a nice antique shop and a kind expression of thanks for your donation by the owner, Diane. Kindness is never wasted! Those peaches look delicious--we have been enjoying them here this year as Colorado's western slope peach crop has been a good one. Have a wonderful week!
Kindness is not an act it is a lifestyle
Happy Monday
Much❤love
Those little acts of kindness go a long way in adding happiness to one another's days.
The garage looks like a fun spot to explore.
We have been enjoying the peaches too. I'll miss them when the season is over.
You are a kind soul. Nice tee shirt
It's nice reading stories like yours. I'm happy you had such a lovely trip!
So neat -- and you deserve every kindness you get. "Play if Forward" is a great way to live. Those peaches look fabulous.
Don't those peaches look delicious :)
All the best Jan
I would definitely want to visit all those places! Looks like some fun finds. How neat that you donated items to the shop and all you got was the t-shirt! 🤣 That was nice of them...and you!
The Blue Ridge Mountains are so beautiful, I would have loved to see them. It looks like you are having a wonderful trip. I hope the Jeep is working for you. I sold mine. And got that hybrid Honda CRV.
Oh, and now we both have red cars!
Feels like I have been on a lovely vacation with you. Thank you
Kindness begets kindness!! Love the color of your new tee-shirt.
Sounds like a lovely vacation!!!
The garage looks like a fun place to visit. Cool shirt.
Those peaches....my mouth is watering. Your blue shirt is pretty. Such a nice gift for your gift of kindness. Have a lovely week.
The t-shirt is great and I would love to scope out that store!! P B & Jay is a cute name for a cafe!! Let us know when you try it! Have a blessed week! xo
I like the t-shirt, and what a fun way to say ~ Thank You!
It looks like a wonderful trip in every way. I think I'd LOVE that Garage store!
Diane - kindness seems to be sorely lacking in so many places these days, so it is encouraging to read that you had some shown to you! Those peaches look delicious! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday with such an inspirational post!
Trips are more special when you meet special people on the way.
Love the sweat tasty peaches... and love such historical places, like this Garage. I understood you, that a fine place to be there.
Have a good week. Happy MosaicMonday
A lovely trip. Kindnesses given are often returned but also passed on :)
Hi Diane, thank you for visiting my blog. A beautiful serie photos of your trip.
Love the shirt and what a kind response to your kind gesture. I'm on a peach binge right now, great local peaches from a NY farm. One of the staff gave me a sample last week at the Farmer's Market and now I'm a loyal customer.
That goes well with my previous post. You may remember that my nephew married his Anna - and there were only two weeks to prepare. All friends helped to create a wonderful festival. I said to both of them: You can be proud of yourself, because you have wonderful friends, and friends like that you don't get without reason. My nephew replied: Yes, I also thought it would be worthwhile to be friendly :-) And I'm qute sure you are also attentive and accommodating to others. Your garage T shirt looks cool and it will always remind you of a positive experience. The shop is great - and the library also looks good with its red bricks. The ripe peaches were certainly tasty and juicy.
Wishing you happy days!

I don't think we can ever be too kind. Everyone loves it. xo Laura
I'm dense!!!! LOL
You were on vacation.
And you took items to get rid of, with you and got rid of them, on vacation?
Gentle hugs,
🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼🌻🌼
Diane, Nice to get rid of stuff! The peaches look lovely and I have been eating our BC peaches here! Yummy. Have a great week. Sylvia D.
Oh, that antique shop is charming. I think I could have stayed in there a long time and just browsed. That was nice that you donated some of your stuff as well. The Cafe next door looks charming. Those peaches look ripe and delicious. There's nothing like them in the Summer. : )

Sounds like a lovely trip and some nice experiences. Hope you enjoy the T-shirt and the peaches.
I have just been eating peaches for breakfast but these on your post look extra nice. So good to do a bit of decluttering. I am determined in September when the heat abates I will get down to doing the same. How things accumulate so quickly I don't know! That was a nice gesture from the owner of the store. Enjoy your holidays. Amanda x
I like retro, antique clothes and furniture. I think I am living in the wrong era. So good of you to donate especially now when times can be difficult. Yes, I like the blue T and the red peaches look juicy. I used to frequent libraries and sit there going through the magazines. But have not done that since March 2020. Stay well
Me alegra que lo pasaras bien. Besos.
Clarification!
Thank you!!!!
🌼🌻🌼
What an interesting place to visit! Great photos!
Hello Diane,
Finally after a new computer, a new program, and a new blog, time to visit my old friends (not that you are old, I am much older, haha).Looks like you had a great trip. Yeah maybe you should visit next door next time! My new url (oneword) living between two realms (.) wordpress (.)com. Would love your visit sometime) Emille (former: Jesh from All Seasons)
The Garage looks like a fun store to wander around in. Your kindness in donating items brought kindness to you. Have a most wonderful day, Diane.
Mmm...peaches. The Garage looks like a fun place!
I just love poking around in those kind of places and fully support the idea of recycling esp. good stuff! Thanks for sharing your photos of interesting spots and delicious peaches too.
No wonder you are so happy all the time ….you count your blessings, even the little ones.
I hope you are having a good summer? It was nice to see you visit me. I am so bad about getting around to the blogs I enjoy…Janey
How wonderful!! What a delightful way to say thank you! Looks like a fun place to explore as well. I would love to have seen the items you "donated". I bet they were nice too!! Oh, and the peaches! We have been enjoying good peaches this summer at our flea market farm stand. They bring in fresh peaches from SC and GA, and we have been really enjoying them. I don't buy peaches at the grocery store because they are never any good, but these have been wonderful. I am glad you were gifted some lovely peaches too! Isn't that a treat? Have a blessed weekend.
