Love your new header so Texasie, love the bluebonnets ours are just starting to show up up here in the DFW area.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745604261113221887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-81341845080573948482009-03-30T18:06:00.000-05:002009-03-30T18:06:00.000-05:00Ah yes...grocery shopping. Well, I have to say I ...Ah yes...grocery shopping. Well, I have to say I have been fortunate because all three husbands loved to go grocery shopping. I had to wonder why...but to be honest I think it was those cute checkers who always said.."Hi Mr.______! How are you today!" Whatever the case, they have all enjoyed doing it. I have to laugh because the first "date" my new husband took me on..was to Costco!! Yep..we ate the samples..laughed shopped..and you know..looking back..not a bad date at all! :) And, yes, I got flowers!<BR/>Farm life...ahhhhh. And your grocery bags are to be commended. :)<BR/>MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-85243726218804808552009-03-30T15:37:00.000-05:002009-03-30T15:37:00.000-05:00Hey girl, haven't heard from you lately.

I did spent a bundle at Costco yesterday though. Great job bringing your eco friendly bags! I always want to run up to people who are bringing theirs in and shake their hands and say "The earth thanks you!" Hmm, am I just a little tree hugger there? But your trip is very similar to what I do. Thanks for sharing, it makes such a mundane chore seem a little more exciting now that it's been blogged.<BR/><BR/>AnnaCrafty Girls Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11244225447661249605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-65395230680586734362009-03-30T12:01:00.000-05:002009-03-30T12:01:00.000-05:00And we miss Wolf Brand chili and HEB's brand of sa...And we miss Wolf Brand chili and HEB's brand of sausage for the grill.Susie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663241365525328953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-81720351338531435602009-03-30T12:00:00.000-05:002009-03-30T12:00:00.000-05:00I never thought that I'd miss HEB, but I do.

You might try Firefly...Australian red that we first tried 'cause of the name...we love the show ;D, and it's very good. $10/bottle, so we don't get it that often.<BR/><BR/>Now you need to explain the name HEB ;DSusie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663241365525328953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-32746038161579444462009-03-30T08:59:00.000-05:002009-03-30T08:59:00.000-05:00DEAR DIXIE,HAPPY MONDAY AND I SO ENJOYED GOING TO ...DEAR DIXIE,<BR/>HAPPY MONDAY AND I SO ENJOYED GOING TO THE GROCERY STORE WITH YOU.

I,too, am just as crazy. I took pictures at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago and the lady in the fabric department said I was the only person she had ever seen take pictures of fabric!! Little did she know that I also took pictures of the silk flowers! HA! Oh, and I love your comment about the left over SKU tags stuck on the produce machine. I always notice that at Central Market and laugh to myself!

She went to the grocery store every day! LOL! I find myself loading up, but still doing that, too. But we have a wonderful grocery here in Florida (Publix), and I love to go there because it is so pretty and organized. It's also clean as a whistle. So I really don't mind that much. There's one grocery store here in Florida that actually plays classical music (The Fresh Market) and sells Godiva Chocolates... but I still prefer Publix. The family who owns it is very philanthopic and believe in supporting the communities that support them!<BR/><BR/>XO,<BR/><BR/>Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131567634073227091.post-5135792120527323632009-03-29T16:57:00.000-05:002009-03-29T16:57:00.000-05:00What an absolutely delightful post that was!
