Executive members are allowed in an hour early, at 9:00 am before the store opens at 10:00. This has always been a peaceful, enjoyable time to shop. The store was never crowded and I was always happy to get out the door by 10 when the doors opened for the general masses.

But now there are so many Executive members that the early shopping hour has become crowded. Today when I walked in at 9:10 am there was a group of people just inside completely blocking the way. They were just talking and completely oblivious to the fact that people were trying to get around them.

In several aisles children were running amok and getting in the way.

I stopped by a chain grocery store to pick up a box of salt, some fresh produce, and a 4 pack of AA batteries

I left without buying salt or batteries. A 28 oz box of salt was $3.49 and store brand batteries were $19.49 for an 8 pack, I thought. “Aldi probably has them cheaper.”

At the nearby Aldi I paid 89 cents for the same size salt and only $2.99 for 8 AA batteries.

I saved enough money to treat myself to a macchiato on the way home.

I’m in the process of having my kitchen and bathrooms remodeled. I ordered Carrara Marble for my kitchen and bathroom counters because it is my favorite natural stone.

My cleaning lady stated that she will not clean or maintain Carrara as it stains and etches too easily. She says I should use quartz instead.

I don’t like quartz and I love Carrara. But I definitely don’t have time to clean and maintain it myself.

Traffic shut down all lanes, large police presence.

I’m always getting the remotes mixed up and opening the wrong garage door. So frustrating.

I’m sailing on July 7 with four friends. Anyone else going to be on that cruise?

I’m going to order CPAP wipes, does anyone have a recommendation? I found several brands and would like to know if anyone has a favorite.

In 1976 for the Bicentennial I was a member of a Girl Scout troop that painted Lima fire hydrants as characters in red, white, and blue.

My family moved a few years later and I was wondering if any of the painted fire extinguishers remain.

This was a citywide project and other service groups painted fire hydrants too.

Just FYI.
