Wishing Well

Tuesday was absolutely wonderful in terms of weather. I get out of work at 3:30, so I figured I better enjoy the sun while it's out as it may rain for the next 40 days. Ohio skies are like that - unpredictable but more likely rainy or gray. Anyway, I called my cousin and we went to Highbanks Metro Park, which evidently was created by all the debris razed in front of the glaciers during the last ice age. Well that's all interesting, but the coolest part of the park is this bridge crossing a tiny flat rock bed stream. From the bridge people toss coins and make wishes, the coins land in the shallow water and shine like little diamonds in the sun. I'm here to tell everyone that wishes do come true. We started craving a hot fudge cake and French fries from Frish's Big Boy. I already knew I'd forgotten my moola, as did my cousin, so what do any self respecting people enjoying nature, but wanting to enjoy greasy and sweet food, do? They take off their shoes and wade into the creek for those coins representing many people's wishes. A whole $4.50 was collected, quite enough for French fries and hot fudge cake. My gratitude to all the people that made MY WISH come true! Thank you!
