Standing in the Store

Well, it has happened.  I knew it would sometime.  I can't make it through a store in town without seeing someone I know so we stand and talk.  And when I go to 2 grocery stores, I am stopping and talking several times.  That small town thing is great.  Since we're retired, we have the time to talk and not hurry off.  Even at the post office - although there is not really a line - it happens.  Or meet someone new.  There were three women in line.  The first one turns to the two of us and asks,  "I have to buy some things for a 6 year old girl from the giving tree at church.  What do you suggest?"  The other woman and I had several ideas so the first woman was all set by the time we left.
