IT’s been a while since I went grocery shopping in a big store. Usually I just stop by the food Lion close to my house. I like the Food Lion because they have most of what I need and it is pretty quick to get in and find what I want, pay for it without a big line and get home. But sometimes I want a few things that Food Lion doesn’t carry, so I went to the new Publix about 15 minutes farther from my house. It is huge and I found what I wanted. But dang! There were 4 people in line in front of me and it took 20 minutes just to check out. That’s crazy!

Paying for my gas at the convenience store I noticed a vase of fresh flowers at the checkout. There was a stem of a red rose and some little white flowers wrapped in cellophane. So I bought one and brought it home to my girl. Tell you what. It was definitely worth the $2.99.

Steak and potato. Soup and salad. Horse and buggie. Peanut butter and jelly.

There must be thousands of pairings out there that have made sense over the years. I wonder if there are any new ones for our own generation?

I have two belts. One is black and one is brown.

I almost never wear belts. But sometimes you must have a belt. the problem is that belts and belt loops come in different sizes. So the brown belt I have is too wide to fit in the belt loops of my new kahki pants. A black belt does not look right on kahki and I don’t wear black shoes with kahki.

So now I have to wear blue pants instead of the kahki, and after work I’ll go buy a thin brown belt.

And then there were three.
