I haven't even read enough to find out where you live, but just the beauty of your speech is wonderful. I grew up around parents that spoke well, however, living in Texas now, there is hardly a soul around me now that carries such charming speech...<br />I can see I will be a regular here as well...<br />ps...I have one of those "high-powered jobs" and I have to agree with you...(in Texas slang..."it ain't what it's cracked up to be!"Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03015572831686023979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-76321886743587009032013-06-25T10:42:44.389-07:002013-06-25T10:42:44.389-07:00I wish we had that option in my neck of the woods....I wish we had that option in my neck of the woods. I just got home from grocery shopping and I'm ready for a nap. The only food delivery available here is a frozen food truck called Schwan 's but the prices are high. <br />My son does all their food shopping on Saturdays while his wife cleans house. They've done it for years -very organised!shadypinesqltrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755180453538893117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-38860787916330342642013-06-25T08:55:10.646-07:002013-06-25T08:55:10.646-07:00I am enjoying your blog and think that we are not ...I am enjoying your blog and think that we are not so different, really. We call your granny's bonnets columbine flowers, but bought the blue and after years, all are pink. I don't like shopping, and use online services where I can.

It would cost me double that in diesel and, despite the sometimes bizarre substitutions, the whole experience is a joy. I think it's amazing they come out this far into the sticks.

Then on the appointed day a man in a van would arrive with all our groceries, enough for six souls, in a large cardboard box. And like your man - with a polite good morning on offer. <br /><br />Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-66506702634068128302013-06-25T06:23:21.913-07:002013-06-25T06:23:21.913-07:00I think it is lovely to get pleasure from simple t...I think it is lovely to get pleasure from simple things and do not envy those highpowered women who miss out on them. I haven't tried online grocery shopping yet but can appreciate that it must be a godsend to those who can't get out. I have to say that my weekly trip to a favourite Sainsbury store is a pleasure. It is large enough to have a wide selection and variety of goods but not so large that it is daunting, and the staff are always kind, helpful and professional.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-56893406887108681182013-06-25T06:22:29.622-07:002013-06-25T06:22:29.622-07:00I detest supermarkets Pat.
