Mary Farrell Margarette:
1) Slept until 9:30 this morning
2) Hollered and whooped all day with my friends Annabella and Cass Forkin
3) Going to Pepe's on Ozona, TX, and eating at Pepe's.
4) Throwing three pennies in the fountain.
5) Receiving the truck inspection sheet from the shop at the San Antonio T/A with my name in the driver's spot. I'm going to frame it.
Annabella:
1) Enjoying the lively conversation in the truck with Cass and Margarette.
2) Getting off the road for an unplanned lunch stop in Ozona, TX and stumbling into Pepe's. It was a museum filled with the owner's artwork. And the food was delicious.
3) Walking up to the register at Pepe's while a senior was getting ready to pay and telling her we were paying for her and her companion's lunch. She said we couldn't do that and the cashier talked her into it. She started to cry with surprise and gratitude. It melted my heart
4) Pulling into the TA in San Antonio and meeting Vanessa Hernandez, the first woman general manager I ever met.
5) Our reception at the TA here. You guys are great!

This day is my most favorite among your list because of the time when you paid for an elderly woman's meal. Her reaction to you was truly heart warming. I guess that would be one in a lifetime encounter.
