SERENDIPITY

It was one of those moments that seem to come out of nowhere.

Some time ago, Gayle (the BAD) had gifted her mother with a metal sculpture that she had painted white and decided she didn't like it.

Her mother, my wife (SWMBO) liked the shapes and got her daughter's permission to repaint it.

Then it sat in our garage for months and months.

Until I brought it in and asked her when she was going to do something with it.

Shamed, she donned one of my old aprons and a face mask and gathered spray cans and went to work in the garage.

Today, we hung it on the wall in the living room.

We both loved it and how it meshed with the color of the wall.

But I promised you serendipity and here it is.

Before the hanging of the artwork, Judy had been watching CBS Sunday Morning on television and had paused it.

That's when I noticed what was holding on the screen below the painting and called her attention to it.

Now is that serendipity or isn't it?
