A Blog Break

These pretty flowers caught my eye at the grocery store:

There was a cute Middle Eastern young man ahead of me at the grocery checkout.  The cashier asked him if he wanted to buy any plastic bags.  They are about 5c each.  Most regulars bring their own re-usable bags.  He said in his accented voice 'How else am I going to carry all these groceries?', he was confused.  Of course he wanted to buy bags.  Then he asked her if she took air miles cards.  She was confused.  Air miles are points cards used in some other grocery stores.  He was obviously not used to doing his groceries at this store.  Then a lady asked the cashier where she could find tea and sugar.  Then another man in line asked about peanuts which he gathered must have been on sale last week.  I guess being a cashier requires a lot of customer service skills.

I'll be taking a blog break for the upcoming month of May.  It will be a busy month for me with lots of stuff going  on so I thought this would be the best thing to do.  Be back in June, God willing!
