Hubby and I wandered into Hippie Gypsy on a pretty Sunday afternoon and WOW....hippie overload (in a good way). We are not the usual customers in this sort of store, being older and not um...bong-buyers, but they had the Iraqi scarves my husband was looking for and some really great clothes, purses and backpacks. This is a great little store that will take any child of the 70's back to the days of Jimi Hendrix posters on the wall and burning incense. So fun!
The young man working at the store (I really wish I'd gotten his name) offered my husband a free cigar when he noticed the Marine Corps emblem on his shirt. Turns out the young man was a Marine himself and I watched these two very different men, decades between them, talk about their experiences in a way only those who have served can understand. He took the time to thank my husband for his service and I just wanted to take a moment to thank him for making our day.
