Noah's Ark may be needed in Los Angles if it continues to rain at the rate of the previous four days.  Yesterday, as we headed to a 10 AM inspection we picked up our 84 year old buyer since he longer drives, and walking to the bus stop and transferring buses would have been less than pleasant in the pouring rain.

 

Our client is staying with a relative while he waits for his senior condo purchase in Redondo Beach to close.  We made the 40 minutes drive to pick him up and proceeded to the inspection with windshield wipers keeping perfect time as we parked on the street (automatic garage door to parking structure was under repair) and hustled inside the building. 

 

After the inspection our client announced he wanted to take us to lunch.  He suggested a fabulous Chinese place and we enjoyed hot tea, tasty food and lively conversation. 

 

Sometimes we are repaid for an act of kindness before it is completed.

The little things count - what is "small" can amount to a very big thing!  It's nice to read of your kindness - it really shows your character.  Stay safe in the rain - I hear some is going to "trickle" Tucson way!

Cara - It is still raining as I write this....and more is one the way.  I hope Tuscon gets some as we both live in the desert and rain is always welcome.

Norma, We have been pounded with rain here in San Jose as well. Some areas had as much as 7 inches of standing water. Picking up your 84 year young client was certainly the right thing to do. He is a gracious man … paying it forward by treating you to lunch. Despite the cold, wet rain … this is a heart-warming story.
