We were getting low on some food items, so Howard and I set out to do some grocery shopping today. I definitely didn't want to go to Walmart, where there was likely to be many people, and where the store is so big and tiring.
We decided on a supermarket in the nearby town of Gray, Tennessee. As soon as we stepped in, we knew we had found the right place. Shelves were fully stocked, the produce looked wonderful, and best of all, it was not crowded. The people we encountered politely kept their distance, concentrating on their own necessities.
This store has the feature of offering a selection of five items in the meat case for $19.95, which we found to be a bargain! I especially wanted strawberries, finding theirs fresh and offering a sale price for three cartons of the beautiful berries. Our banana supply at home depleted, we couldn't pass up a large, yellow bunch, one of which we shared on the way home!
Stopping for a burger at lunch time before we shopped helped us keep are grocery tab in check. Howard ordered a Big Mac and a regular burger for me. "I see they have a Little Mac, too!" I pointed out.
"We didn't know you had a Little Mac," my driver said to the window clerk, to which she said, "Yes, we just made them today!" she smiled. So hubby switched the order to my specifications!
The beautiful drive up the curving, picturesque road and the immaculately mowed pastures and well-kept homes, whether large or small, made for a pleasant excursion in itself. The sky is full of fluffy clouds in the blue, and it will soon be April! God is good!
