I ordered a take out lobster roll and cold slaw to go. I wish I knew that the number of miles was being asked as I could easily have measured them on my way to Center Harbor Aubuchon Hardware across from Murphy's Mobile gas station. It is not a four minute drive between the two. I gobbled my lobster roll and went to get paint and supplies to do my deck. I had a great helper at the Center Harbor Aubuchon who gave me advice on what things I needed. They were out of one of the paints so off I went to the Meredith Aubuchon to get that. Uh oh. On the way I just could not drive past the Red Hill without stopping for my favorite............a banana split. Delicious! Only my second of the season.

I then continued to Meredith Aubuchon. I got my paint and also I got driveway markers there too. I had keys made and found brass numbers for a sign. I was ready to return home!!!! However I had to go past Hannafords and stopped in for milk and salmon and kiwis and almonds and avocados and broccoli crowns and all the healthy foods I wish I knew about when I was younger!! They did not have broccoli crowns I mentioned to the gal at the cash register. She disappeared and came back with some!!! I could not believe it as I had asked the fellow in produce and he said they did not have any. As the food was being bagged, I happened to ask if either the gal at the register or the bagger knew what time the movie showings were at the theater as Julie and Julia is now playing there. Neither knew. BUT the fellow said something to the girl at the register and off he went. When he came back he had a slip of paper with the show times on it. He said they had them in some publication out back!!! So now I had my broccoli crowns and my show times.

I was so impressed by these two helpful young people that I asked to see the manager. Her name is Kat and she is great. I mentioned that Shawn had found the show times for me or the movie that was playing , and the gal had found broccoli crowns. She asked if I knew the name of the gal at the register but I did not so I said to come and see the gal who was still there. Kat wanted to commend them later. I told her I believed in giving good and bad input at stores as that is how managers hear what the customers think. She agreed and was glad to have nice input about these two outstanding young workers. I had earlier in the summer asked Kat twice why they were out of crystallized ginger and watermellon. She got the ginger in that I had been asking for all summer in about a week!!!! Watermellon was back the next day.. A camp had bought out the two bins they stocked daily. I love the store and the help and the manager at Hannafords.

Off with a friend to the movie tonight. What made your day lovely? It is the simple things in life that matter. Sometimes we forget that!!

First off, let me be the first one to thank you LTSY for bring us these great memories, this is exactly why I am going to retire come H*** or high water at Lake Winnie. Those of us that have been at the forum for awhile but live too far to enjoy the day-to-day life at the lake, reading days like this are so very enjoyable.

On a seperate topic, thanks also goes to you for taking our advise and starting new and spacing between your thoughts. I for one want to start again with all the past behind us and welcome you to the forum.
