It was a beautiful summer Saturday and most of the residents of the small town were taking advantage of it.
On Main Street, a young man stood on a corner, playing his guitar and singing. As he sang, he drew courage from the special guitar pick in his pocket--the one signed by Eric Clapton.
At the park, people were engaged in a variety of activities. Children were running, laughing, and enjoying the playground. There was a man selling balloons and another selling ice cream. On a wooden bench, a mother held her crying young daughter close as they sadly watched her red balloon float higher and higher into the sky.
In a secluded corner of the park, a young couple spread a blanket beneath the trees and began to remove their picnic lunch from a well-worn wicker basket which had once belonged to the woman's grandmother.
