Evelyn and I had a typical Friday "big night" after work this evening. Dinner at Olive Garden and then on to Costco. After spending $189+, we now have enough grape juice, toilet paper, paper towel, Greek yogurt, cans of low sodium V8 juice, and plastic bottles of orange juice to keep a Tea Party rally going for a week. Plus coffee, almonds, a package of cookies, a huge bag of naked pita chips, and organic tomato basil soup. (The latter is a special treat.) We never really started going to Sam's Club or Costco till our kids were grown and gone. Now we have a stocked pantry of these "bargains" and no one to use 'em except Evelyn and me. Give us a call if you'd like a snack or you have an emergency requiring paper products.
The day started with a beautiful sunrise. I stopped to snap it from the parking lot of our church building. Those clouds soon thickened, and the sun was covered up, never to be seen again the rest of the day. Blustery winds blew angry showers of rain and snow across asphalt and sidewalks intermittently through the day. After two days of almost-60 degrees, we shivered this evening as we ran from the car to our Friday-night destinations.
But the weather did nothing to discourage the crowds at Olive Garden and Costco.
