An unexpected surprise arrived yesterday, when our neighbor Nancy knocked on the door.
Just Because was her reply, to which she added and because I wanted to.
Of course, the ever-practical Grenville said it may have been because I have visited Nancy in her apartment many times, just to chat. A neighbor on our floor, Nancy has MS and while she is in a wheelchair, isn't confined by it. I don't visit because of her medical issue, but because Nancy is a very an upbeat, talkative, and engaging person.
This unexpected bouquet is now on our window dining table. Looking at it makes me smile, for the reason you might suspect . . . just because.
Who doesn't enjoy an unexpected surprise? Grenville always reminds me that my "habit" of sending cards, letters, photos, small gifts to others amounts to the same thing. To me, it's something I've been doing for many years. Hopefully, it has brightened someone's day in this day of social media and text messaging. I enjoy getting cards and letters too.
Speaking of surprises, I neglected to mention this recent one from fellow blogger, Kathleen. It's hanging on our apartment door and greets all who visit. Thanks, my friend.
(Sorry for the puns, but they fit.)
Enjoy your weekend, Everyone
Early Happy Birthday USA

I'm glad you got that "just because" present of beautiful flowers - you are so nice, you deserve it. Kathy sounds like a lovely lady.
Sorry - I meant Nancy! :)
A gift "just because" is the greatest gift to receive.
That's a pleasant surprise!
that welcome sign is really beautiful and flowers are a very pleasant surprise. I am a big fan of 'just because'
Good idea.
You deserve these sweet and pretty surprises. Have a wonderful July 4th.
I am a great fan of ...just because, especially since moving and not seeing friends and family as often.
Unexpected gifts, especially flowers, are wonderful. Certainly makes me feel good and I hope it does the same to those I send cards and flowers to.
That is sooooo nice to have a "just because" gift that is so lovely to look at on your table by the window. Perfect setting. You both have a wonderful 4th. Hugs, LJ
What a nice gift. You blessed her with friendship and she reciprocated.
Beautiful flowers! And such a nice surprise. I've been a recipient of your cards. You are so thoughtful!
Wishing you both a very happy 4th!
How sweet! Friends like that are rare.
What a sweet gesture on her part. They are lovely. I hope you have a nice holiday!
Those are sweet. Flowers are so pretty. I sent two gifts in the mail Friday for my aunts, they have no clue the gifts are coming and I did it just because.
