One of those simple things are sometimes the most fun!

I had a little fun yesterday and I want to share it with you. It didn't cost me anything and may not get me anything in return - but it was fun.

I'm involved with a couple Chambers of Commerce. As an ambassador, I catch myself 'playing the role' quite a bit.

There is a small cafe my husband and I enjoy. We eat there enough so the owner knows our faces and always comes over to speak. We haven't reached the point for him to remember our names. But the visual recognition is kinda neat.

He recently joined one of the chambers I'm active in. I missed his ribbon cutting, but have noticed he still has the ribbon taped to the hostess podium. You wouldn't have any idea what that ribbon was unless you 'knew' - but it's still there three months later. And naturally, I pick at him about it and he just grins from ear to ear!

For this chamber, their newsletter is emailed to the members. A few printed copies are available in the chamber office for people to pick up. The March-April issue arrived yesterday while I was in the Chamber office. Looking through them, I noticed the ribbon cutting photo for this cafe.

So - I decided to have a little fun. I took a couple of the printed newsetters with me and stopped by the cafe on the way home.

The owner was talking to some of his regular customers in the lobby area, so I waited on him to notice me. The hostess was smirking a little - knowing something fun was coming...haha

He looked up and I interupted, and made a big deal of a new cafe in the area that was in the chamber newsletter and asked him if he knew who it was. It only took a couple seconds for the smile to come back - it was his picture!

At that point, I backed off and watched him show the photo to everyone around - pointing to the ribbon on the podium the whole time. It was fun to watch! I slipped out the door with a wave to the hostess and went home. I was still laughing when I got there.

You know, he may never remember my name or know anything about me. But he will remember, someone brought him a copy of the chamber newsletter with his ribbon cutting photo in it. And I'll probably laugh every time we go in there to eat from now on...

It was fun and we both enjoyed it!
