It''s Grocery Shopping Day!!!


Mom has picked Saturday as Grocery shopping day or Farmer's Market Day. This is the day when people go out to compare prices on vegetables and fruits and try to get the best deals. Growers at the Farmer's Market grow their vegetables locally and sell it for a slightly cheaper price than what you would find at the stores. However, they don't refrigerate their vegetables like what you would see at Winn Dixie or Publix. I love the display of a pretend rain shower with flickering lights for lighting and recorded thunder. Afterwards, "Singing in the Rain" music comes on with sounds of recorded rain with a slight spraying of water on the vegetable display at the store. It is like all this entertainment suppose to keep the vegetables crisper longer. I had one mug of Maxwell house coffee and that doesn't seem to be enough. I am not getting the caffeine kick which I get with the Folgers coffee. Last night we had a small thunder storm roll through. I have two library books one is "From Whom The Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway. The other is the famous Nixon book I didn't even get to the third chapter. I have three weeks with these two books, so hopefully I will make some headway with them; especially if, we get a rainy afternoon. Speaking of stories the only rainy story fragment, I can remember is horseback riding during a thunderstorm and cutting through orange groves over by a lake. My eyes were stinging from the rain and I could hear the thunder and maybe even seeing some lighting ever so close. I remember wanting to be out of this situation so bad. I was glad when it was over. I guess the other stories would be driving through flooded streets and hoping I could get through the water without my car stalling out and my brakes giving out. Also, pulling into convenient stores when the weather was threatening with tornadoes and lots of lighting with heavy downpours of rain. I guess I will try for a little more coffee.

    "Not all coffees are created equal"
    I find I like the Arabica bean the best, for its dark rich flavor and secondly my favorite company to make my coffee from Arabica is Christopher Bean. A small family owned company. My mornings with CB coffee are a ritual day starter.
