Oh, boy, is this a story. You and papa did WHAT?
Mama and papa were in a taxi with some very poignant items, three little silver chickens that have glass salt holders, one of which mama has had since 1963 and the two others since 1975 when papa gave her TWO more of the family for mama’s and papa’s first anniversary together (!) and so they were in a taxi going to the man who re-silvers things and they jumped out of the taxi in a hurry because there was a car behind them and left the chickies IN the taxi and then realized it and panicked and papa ran after the taxi but it was long gone and then they called the central taxi people to report it and FOUND the driver far away but the driver, a sweet and thoughtful man, came back to where they were and brought the chickies and took mama and papa home where they collapsed!!!!
So are we thankful? YES, YES, YES, we/they are so, so thankful for a competent central lost and found taxi company and for the kind driver and for the eventual lovely morning at the campo de’ fiori open market where papa bought lovey tulips for mama the colors of the Roma soccer team and everything turned out well…the tulips were the color of the Roma team, not mama.
So everything turned out well, no?
Whew…without me there, they are bound to do weird things.
I wonder what’s next, haha?
When our sons were about 7 and 5, we found a very full wallet in a shopping cart…petcretary investigated and found the address of the owner, and drove to her place and gave it to the (elderly) lady, who was overcome with joy, because she didn’t even yet realize she had left it….yikes!
Glad the chickens were able to roost in the correct place because of the taxi man’s assistance and kindness.
What a lovely story!
We love happy endings😻Double Pawkiss🐾😽💞
Oh, so do we. Everyone was so, so nice, and then a friend of mama who is in Collioure for the first time had the most amazing experience with French people helping her find a place to buy swimming flippers and then leaving something where she had met a lady who drove her to the flipper store and then drove her back to pick up her lost cane and so many people helping her on one of her first days in France – an amazing story, but people often are so kind and only wish to do what they themselves would like to have done to them. Hey, that’s a catchy phrase…maybe do unto others, something like that? Might take off….
I’m so happy that the chickens were found and returned!
Oh, it was touch and go there for a few minutes. Mama and papa were really in a kind of shock, but all was resolved so easily and well and so quickly. I think basically anthros are pretty good sorts!
Oh my word what an everyday hero that man is, Loulou. I’m so happy that your mama and papa got their precious chickens back.
Well, I am, too, because those chickies have been with mama and papa on every trip to that other place, and when they are on the table, mama and papa feel at home.
YAY for the wonderful taxi driver….the little chickies return to the nest of the Mama – YAY! Sounds like they are having a wonderful time and I hope you are enjoying some good snooze time on “THEIR” bed! Tee Hee
Hugs, Teddy
Haha, THEIR bed is now and always has been a BORROWED bedieby in my opinion!
Yes, everything turned out okay with the found chickens, that’s a good thing. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
You are our high point on Thursdays! Not that the others are low, haha, but we love the hop.
People such as the kind taxi driver — these people warm our heats
Today in Collioure — well when in Perpignan — such a person did such kind things — will send an email and tell all
Would love to hear! Have you been to see me yet? I’m the four-legged furry thing possibly in the garden with Sue or sacked out. More likely sacked out.
mum sez to tell yoo dat there is crazy planetary stuff happening now so fur your mum and dee elevator to be carefullz. may 5 iz a bad day and may 20 iz a bad day ezpe-shully.
Well, wow, merci for that info. But chicken day was a WONDERFUL day, if a bit down and then up! I’ll let them know.
Well, we are glad the cab driver was found and returned Mama’s lost chicks. It is always such a relief to find something that was lost ! Maybe we could see a picture of those chickens later.
MAMA FORGOT TO PUT IN MY PHOTO OF CHICKENS. But it’s there NOW.
I am glad that story had a happy ending. XO
Oh, the relief was a big one.
I’m so glad they recovered those chickies! Sounds like without your steadying influence, your Peeps get a bit lost – they best get home soon before they get in more trouble LouLou.
Well, I am feeling the same way. They need a handler….
See? There are good people in this world. Bet that driver is being smiled down upon from heaven.
Yes, such a lovely man, too. There seem to be a lot of taxi drivers here who are nice peeps. Maybe because they have to deal with so many tourists.
Bravo to your wonderful taxi-man, a small yet very big kindness he did to return such a treasure!
Well, it was a lovely experience and the taxi company is very sharp to keep close track on things left…cellphones, treasures, just-bought shopping things, jackets. Mama’s taxi man said you can’t believe what passengers leave. They found 10 centimes on the floor, haha.
Oh dear, Loulou…your pawrents must have been so upset.
Wonderful that it all worked out.
The famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma left his Stradivarius cello in a taxi once, and it came back to him, so they are in good company.
OH, MINCE!!!! That is horrible but knowing him, he smiled during the whole ordeal. WOW, his cello!!!!!
