Last Saturday when I went to the bridge club, I took two batches of my chocolate chip cookies with me. I planned to drop off one batch at the gas station to show my appreciation to Jim, the owner, for unlocking my car doors a week earlier. I had locked myself out while pumping gas and Jim didn’t charge me a penny for opening the doors. But as I was driving, I decided to call the gas station first to find out when Jim would be in that day. “Oh, he doesn’t work on the weekends,” I was told. Oh well, I would just take the cookies home and put them into the freezer and try again later.
The other batch was for Mike, one of the men who played bridge weekly, at the local bridge club. After our game the previous week Mike had done me a favor. He had mentioned he was on his way to the library. So I asked if he would return my books at the same time. He did and I decided he also deserved some cookies. But when I got to the club, I learned Mike had gone out of town. I could hardly believe I struck out twice in one day.
But not to worry. I had extra cookies at home that I had planned on giving to Barb, a neighbor who helped me take in my groceries recently and another batch for Alisa a new neighbor who was moving into my 4-unit townhouse in another week. Thus, as I drove home Sat. afternoon, I decided I could easily drop off one batch to Barb, which I did. And lo and behold when I pulled up to my garage, I saw Alisa moving some items into her new condo and so I was able to give my second batch of chocolate chip cookies to her. “All was not lost!” I had successfully delivered two batches of cookies after all.
