Before I post, I want to thank those of you who left a note of sympathy on the loss of my last brother. Blessings back to you!

I am using no photo today for a reason. . . I lost my camera last week when it fell out of my jacket pocket on a bus I was riding but I didn't know it until I got off the bus, ate lunch and then looked for the camera. I was frantic for the first half hour when I could see it nowhre on the sidewalk or at the bus stop. I figured it was a goner. I had just rplaced an older camera I couldn't get parts for not long ago. I couldn't afford another one, not even one on sale. I am lost without my digital camera when I go on walks. I walk a lot usually but hadn't been on one since my brother's death. I figured it was time to get out again and start living.
I finally decided to sit at the bus stop and wait for the driver that I knew had brought me to this point. If she did not get off at another transit center because of a shift ending, I might find out something. Meanwhile I called C-Tran and asked if my camera had been turned in to the office. . . didn't think I would have much luck there because a camera doesn't have a name on it. I waited for them to answer 5 other phone calls. . . Nothing back from them. One bus came along and I asked the man driver if he had heard anything about a camera being turned in on another bus. No. . .
THEN the bus I had been riding came along -- after the driver's break at the transit center. . . YES! Someone had given it to her and she turned it in at the office. I had an hour to get back there and claim it before they closed for the night. . . Well, I finally made it, described my camera and sure enough, IT WAS there. I was so relieved. I just wish I knew the person that turned it into that driver. I am so grateful for that "ANGEL"
I think I will write C-Tran a letter thanking the driver and the unknown person. Maybe even take a plate of cookies to the office. . . my unknown friend who turned it in will be in my thoughts and prayers!!!
