Ha, Ms G was at Trader Joes today, but it's a three hour drive home.
Whoa, pretty different. I hope you really, really enjoy whatever she bought!Ha, Ms G was at Trader Joes today, but it's a three hour drive home.
Thanks. I needed it to. I thought it referred to some FBI series witness protection TV series I had missed. Now I remember that the Darrel's had changed!Little too subtle for this crowd...
The kind of people who do not grow on you, huh?Now I can quite honestly say, that I have had the time to meet a lot of my neighbors and get to know them...it may be time to move.

OMG, I had forgotten about that place. Never went there myself, but you're right... I remember exactly where it is/was. Everybody knows where it is, especially those who are/were Navy.
Here, I sometimes give directions by referring to one of the old Schwegmann's grocery stores, even though that chain went out of business the year I arrived. Also, I describe a certain shade of purple as "K&B purple" even though K&B was history long before I got here. So many places have disappeared from New Orleans, that we even have an often used phrase to describe it: "Ain' dere no mo". And we wistfully remember by using their locations when we give directions. Kind of like remembering an old friend.

Yep. Even up here in greater KC, I remember. I too used to 'make groceries' and catch a Schway -ga mens bag full of beads at Mardis Gras.
