Hello,
Leroy and I went off to the store this
morning with the idea to buy potatoes, eggs, and chickpea flour. Well, dried apricots
were on sale with more than half off; four containers went into the cart. Brown
rice was on a good sale so three packages went into the cart. Millet and barley
were also on sale, but we do not eat as much of those so it was only one bag
each. Organic fair trade bananas were half off. We were low on bananas some of
them went in the cart too. A yogurt
Leroy likes was also on sale and two packages found their way into the cart. By
the time we were done shopping we had quite a few impulse buys, but happy for
them. We especially like those apricots.
It seemed that there could be some more
color at the back door of the church. On the way home the store that we pass
still had some plants. We got three pots at 75% off. What a great deal.
We dropped the plants at the church,
went home, put away the groceries, ate a snack, packed up what we needed and
walked back to the church, me with a back pack and Leroy with a three foot
spade. At church we discussed where to put the plants. Another member also put
in some advice. Leroy got water while I dug the first hole. Even though they
were hanging baskets we took the plants out and put them in the ground. We
patted ourselves on the back and walked home.
This added a lot of steps to our
totals and gave us a good feeling for giving some beauty.
Paula
