Grocery Store??

As I went to the dreaded grocery store....which with some thought realized it is a huge blessing, I now consider the chore one of the hugest blessings I am able to be a part of!  K, so how very very lucky we are to be able to go to the grocery store.  There are many many choices just alone in the produce section.
I didn't have to grow the carrots, spinach or corn I bought...  I didn't have to wait for it to be in season...
I just went in without thinking and grabbed the produce I wanted.  Hmmm I bet the Pioneers dreamt of this  often!  There are so many things that can be found that I don't even have to get out a pan to cook anything.  Premade meals are found everywhere.   Bread, the staple of life, was just thrown into my cart.  No planting the grain, praying for great weather, harvesting, and separating grain from hull, no grinding of the seed, no all day process of making dough and baking.  A simple grab and throw was the effort put into our daily bread.  Could eating our daily meals even get any easier?  How very very blessed I consider my self as I put into my face the eggs, bacon, toast and oj I bought at the store just yesterday.

SO TRUE! We are especially spoiled here with Haggen's, their bakery is better than home made...it's a blessing and a curse for the waistline! Miss you!

By the way, I think you have to reset my blog address on your blog list, it says I have not blogged for over two months, and I have been blogging every day.
