On Saturday, the compassionate service leader asked me to take dinner to a sister who had recently had a baby. She told me the sister was less active, not married, and living with her (and she didn't know what to call him) "husband". I told her it would fine and that Monday would be best for me.
Today I ran some food over there, and no one answered the door. To top things off, as I parked my car, a lady in another car was glaring at me. As I headed towards the yard of the family I had cooked for, she said very rudely, "Excuse me. You parked in my spot (public road). " I explained that I would only be a couple of minutes because I was delivering food to someone who had a baby. She said, "I had to park in my landlord's spot." Once again I explained that I would be gone in a couple of minutes and she could park right after I left. She then said, very snottily, "I can't come back outside." Snarl. She was so mean. Maybe she had a bad day, but do not take it out on the person that was trying to do something nice for someone else.

Ahhhh...the joys of service! Not always well received by people, and sometimes not a pleasant experience. It also reminds me of when I totaled our car on a way to a Welfare meeting. Sorry things don't always go smoothly!
I'm sorry that happened. I really don't like grumpy strangers. We need to get together again sometime soon! I hope you don't mind that I used a couple of your pics on my blog. Thanks for taking them!
