When we first arrived in Ukraine the grocery store we most often visited had only one (1) push cart. We were so jazzed one day when we got it. We even took turns pushing it. Oh, happy day! The trouble was that we filled it and then we had to carry all those groceries home. The hand carry baskets may not carry all the groceries you want but you know how much they weigh. Now....there has been a shift at the market. More push carts and less hand carry baskets. Why? More people have cars and they don't have to carry all their groceries in one load. Alan And I walked home from the store today, each carrying a bag and we saw a car pulled up near our apartment loaded with stuff from the market. They bought several frozen pizzas and cases of soda. Ah...those were the days.
5 things I am thankful for...
- grocery stores close to my home
- carbonated beverages (Coke Light in Ukraine...Diet Dr. Pepper in the States)
- Sandman who keeps me from falling on my keister
- swiffer dusters (courtesy of my Mom's care packages)
- a tall husband who can reach the top of the chandelier
