July 1

We went to Bed, Bath and Beyond today to buy some spoons. (Yes, just spoons. Don't ask.) As we milled around the flatware area, Abby suddenly exclaimed hey, look! And when I did, I saw this:

It's one of those kids' water bottles. And the name on it... Logan.

The truly strange thing? It was completely out of place. There wasn't another bottle like it in sight. Someone just... put it there. And we found it.

Kind of perfect.

And because I wasn't riding high enough on that, when we got to the checkout counter, the disposable bags next to the register featured none other than Lightning McQueen. I looked around, sure that there were others counters with the same bags, but no: the other registers featured bags picturing the likes of Tinker Bell, Disney Princesses and Spiderman. But not Cars.

A double-whammy of feel-good winkage to kick off Logan's birthday month.
