Humankind says the best things in life are free

But I believe it's a 44 cent stamp.

"I have found that whenever I want something sweet, but don't want to spend the money, the best thing is to find a chocolate shop, make conversation with whoever is working and then nicely ask, 'so do oyu have any free samples?'Works almost every time."

-Ashley Wells, The wise woman of D.C.

The other day, I was having one of those days. You know those days where you the best remedy is to turn on some great screaming music, roll down the windows and just scream with whatever is playing. Rolling down the windows seems to be the better remedy because it is out in the open and not hidden.

Yes, it was one of those days.

I get home and check the mail. And I see handwritten letters on an envelope and those are typically the best kind. Mainly because you know it is something better than a bank statement or a bill. I pick the letter from my box and I see my name and some pretty fall drawings around my address. So I open the letter and it is full of free things.

Fall leaves, I adore fall and the changing of colors.

A sketch of the capitol building. I really enjoy sketches and the hands the sketched the building.

A comic strip that happens to describe me very well. It is slightly embarrassing but so true.

So, thankful for miss Ashley Wells and can't help but smile.

And I realized the best things are the smallest things, in the simplest forms. 

But the greatest is when someone knows you and accepts your quirky mannerisms.
