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.
