McDonald's with my family
This is the McDonalds my Grandpa Gil managed. Updated, expanded, but still a memorable stop.
This is just one of the pics. I have so many more to share. We visited the other McDonald's he managed, from my understanding he was one of the first that managed 2 McDonald's. I also understand that he managed like a Marine. And called out orders in Marine fashion his employees snapped to!
We left the McDonald's and visited the second location. It is now a Mexican restaurant. Next we ventured out to find the house they lived in.
My Aunt Harriet (HAP) lived with Grandpa Gil for a while, so we made a stop at her High School. The next stop was one, not for Grandpa Gil, but for the Pye Girls. You see we are beach babies. I have mentioned before that I am most at peace at the ocean. My spirit is at peace there always. Saturday was no exception.
When we got back in the car, I asked my Sisser to hand me my purse from the back seat. She said it wasn't there.
I was so excited and in the moment I left my purse in our booth at McDonald's. Hours before. My cousin's wife, my angel Linda, called them to see if anyone had turned in a Coach purse... Believe it or not someone had. Surely it would be emptied of the cash in the wallet, have a credit card missing, my ID stolen.. Or my whole Coach wallet... For those of you who may not understand the Coach connotation even on sale purses are over $100 and wallets almost as much. Usually frugal with purses I JUST bought this one in October when my Sisser got married.
Donnie rushed us back across town and would you believe that they indeed had my purse, gasp, could it be? I am shaking as I sit it down, the wallet is there, IDs are there. Credit cards are there. I get back in he car and count the cash - $180.
Thank you Grandpa Gil for taking care of your Granddaughter. And to whoever turned it in. Thank
