While I was visiting Yeppoon, I made it my mission to purchase a lotto ticket from Cedar Park Newsagent where Jill used to work. When we were younger, I remember walking to Cedar Park many a weekend when I was bored and would keep Jill company for a bit while she “worked”. Whenever a customer came in, I would wander the shop pretending to look around before we would return to our chats.
So, I was slightly disappointed to find that Cedar Park Newsagent is no longer there and instead is now a Mixed Martial Arts Gym. However, the Supermarket there now sells lotto tickets so close enough. I still had no idea where I was going to leave the lotto ticket, but I noticed there was a Community Notices Board outside the Supermarket so I thought that would be perfect and saved me from having to be creative.
On closer inspection of the Community Notices Board, I knew it was meant to be, as right in the middle of the board was a flyer for ‘Marto Music Memorial Trust Show’ for Anna’s Dad. I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Anna’s Dad, although I have since discovered that he was a very popular man in the community and obviously very special to his family. But what are the chances that this is where I decided to place the lotto ticket and was also about an hour or so before I was meeting up with Anna too! That’s got to be a little sign from above for Anna from her Dad. I of course told Anna about it and got her permission to include this here in my post. Hopefully Jill & Marto will help make it a winning ticket and someone who deserves some good juju will find it.
What?! Cedar park newso has closed down?!? Outrageous!!
Love this Cassie. Definitely meant to be 💗
