The other day at the grocery an elderly, tiny lady asked me (!!! I am not even 1,60m anymore, thanks scoliosis) to give her something from a shelf high up.
Yes. Laugh. I tip-toed, but managed.
Three (!!!) darn bottles of water.
Why? Why didn´t she ask a tall person??? (there were others)
LOL!!!
And also: We have healthy, great water from the tap here, too, but, well, I was happy to help, of course.
Like a comic, a tiny asking a little...
THEN.
Later I came out of our main door and BOOM!
Our maintenance-guy doing his work, looked at me (or my happy hat) and gave me the BIGGEST smile :-)
It´s the little things, too, that make life worthwhile, right.
Off to the market.
Last time the lady who gave me tomatoes only ONCE before remembered me even, thanks to Gurri and my Happy Hat and knew which tomatoes Ingo likes, hence.
It´s a small world 😃
To a happy day!
Henry 🦁
Funny enough... Henry is even topped by his big Brother, the so-called Long Henry, the chimney of our power station, in the background 🤣
And no, the tiny lady could not have asked Ingo as he was not with me - you know the stupid one trolley per person-thing... I still shake my head and if the Nieces have children some day and I´m an old lady I´ll tell them of Corinna and the stupid that came along with that in 2020/2021!
So. Long underwear? Check. Thick clothes, cam, check. Yikes, snow outside. Off to the market now really...

Hello,
I can not reach the top shelves, not even on tip toes. You are nice to help the little lady.
I like the happy hat reflections and the tiger with the yellow all around him. Looks like someone left behind their decorations for the Carnival celebration. Great photo of the tall Ingo. Hopefully Covid will be just a memory soon. Take care and stay safe. Have a great weekend!
Soon I´ll need help, also - and hopefully I find nice people for that :-)
To a great weekend!
Happy days are here again!
Tiny days 😂
Hope it was a pleasant journey to and from the market!
...we are fortunate to have good tasting safe water from the tap here too! Enjoy your weekend Iris.
sounds like a nice day for sure, sometimes as we get older hard to stretch too, she probably saw your kind face and felt safe to ask for help.
Happy weekend Kathy
She probably asked you because you look nice -- and I'll bet you were wearing your happy hat!
That's so funny, a tiny woman asking you to reach up for something. I guess you just looked like a kind person.
Yup, Its The Little Things - Pretty Cool Ground Score - Be Well
Cheers
Shari, it was scrunchy - we have snow again!

Tom, yes, it´s all I need (and a tea-bag in winter).
____
Kathy, yes, it´s sometimes hard to just ask someone for help!
____
Jeanie, yes, Happy Hat was with me :-)

gigi, I try to be nice, but I´m not tall, "LOL"...

Padre, I give my best, cheers!
... a small woman asks you to grab something? How small was the woman then? 🧐 And what have you found on the street?
Is it the scepter of a ... cannibal? 💀 LOL
What a pity, you brought the monkey 🐵 to the school and the classroom was closed! 😂
Give my regards to Henry 🦁
Ich hab dich liiiieb mein 🐘

LOL, yes she was much smaller than me, 1,40m? Or even less? Yet... On my toes I was. "One more, ... one more".
Yes, I wondered, also, that thing was right the next to home, how "scary" 💀
OK, Happy Hat is a monkey now, LOL 🐵 - a happy one!
Henry says hi!
Ich hab dich liiiieb mein 🦋
xoxo
The little things become the big things we remember.
The little lady probably thought that you looked friendly and would help her.
Bill, I agree.

RedPat, yes, but I´m small, also!
Between your friendliness and Happy Hat, it looks like you are bringing a lot of joy into the lives of others. A pity more people can't be like you :) xx
I bet there are thousands like you and me, dear Margaret!!! :-) xx
I'm tall, so I don't mind reaching up on a shelf for someone.
I've been known to say "Excuse me tall person, can you reach this thing off the top shelf for me please?" The tall people don't seem to mind, but if there aren't any around I will go to the service desk and ask them to call someone from the grocery department to help me.
I like that thing you found in the street.
I noticed the magpie book you shared with us is a movie on Netflix. I need to check it out now. I love the happy hat reflection. That is a fun photo!
I have the same problem not reaching the top shelf, if P's not with me I definitely look for a taller person 😀😀 You did your good deed for the day 💜
I am short as well, maybe not as little as you but I too have to ask for things off the top shelf and I need to use a step stool when I am home. I glad you had a good day. It is nice when people remember you and when we interact. I do believe being in the house all the time takes it toll. Have a great day.
