Just back from a very satisfying grocery shopping experience at my new favorite local market. I have been wanting to put staple grains in those blue Bell jars for years, and now I have and they look very pretty in the window of the back porch. The little man who weighed my containers for me was very sweet and supportive, and the woman at check out loved my olive oil bottle and pepper grinder. The highlight of my bulk shopping was finding laundry soap for the first time ever!
One of my new neighbors was walking the same direction and asked to join me. I learned she likes to write-she is a cheerful soul. I felt very urbane with my rolling shopping cart, and found 2 coins on the way home but not my missing earring. Yet.
I am looking forward to a lovely Italian dinner with FRESH mozzarella and Italian sausage and greens and bread and raspberries. I hope I never forget how lucky I am now to have access to this incredible variety of healthy local foods!
