Heck Yeah, We Have Grocery Stores in Texas!

Our grocery stores are so fabulous that even my mother-in-law's dog Bojangles knows it. He loves to relax on the Sprouts reusable shopping bag. I imagine that it must smell of all the marvelous foods we carried home in it.
Gayle and I have visited four grocery stores since she arrived here - that's a store a day! Here she is at Central Market. It's a gourmet store with all kinds of fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, there's all kinds of prepared foods that you can buy to take home and eat. Usually they have a live band playing, but we were too early today. They did have samples throughout the store and we left with our bellies full. Yummy!

Jeff and his mother enjoy Central Market's olive bar.

Gayle looks at a huge collection cheeses from all over the world! This store can be overwhelming on the first visit or two, but it is surprising how quickly you can get used to it. We live about 15 minutes away from it - not a bad drive at all.

I have been watching each day to see that hat and that you arrived safe back in Texas. Love to you all and an extra dose to Gayle.

Lovely picture. I saw the kids come out happy after they'd heard your story.
