There was a misty rain when I went out earlier to pick up half & half for my coffee. I looked for a few other items at the A&P, and since I'm not familiar with the store layout I went up and down several aisles. One thing I noticed that is much different than where I shop in California is that most people do not make eye contact. No smiles or a friendly greeting. I did move my cart a bit to let an older woman get past, and she said "Thank You". That was really the only friendly person in the store, although folks aren't unfriendly, just preoccupied and not outgoing around strangers.
UPDATE: I just found the A&P receipt in my purse and took a look at it. The checker gave me a $2.00 Senior Discount, which I was unaware of and which I think is darned friendly!
I noticed when I went outside to get in my car, I just hated the idea of driving anywhere. I don't mind riding if someone else is driving, as in the case of Sunday's trip to West Point, but I have no desire to focus on the road. I hope this is a temporary thing because I have places to go to and things to see, and it's a long way back to CA as well.
Judy asked about the number of pieces in the Las Vegas puzzle - that one and several others are 750 pieces, and there is one I'm thinking of opening up that is 1000. 750 is a good number.
And Run'n Rose mentioned an app for jigsaw puzzles on the iPad. I can't imagine doing a jigsaw on any computer-type device. I've tried crossword puzzles and they are horrible! Remember, I am getting old and stuck in my ways, lol.

I enjoyed reading all the comments about making Kombucha. I am planning to get back to juicing when I return to CA, and don't know if I can handle two operations such as these. I went to Nature's Pantry this morning to buy some more Kombucha,...

I'm just about ready to go when Mike packs up my car in an organized way. I'll try to leave 1st thing in the morning, but I want to brew some coffee to take along in a thermos, and by then everyone will be getting up. I still hope...

It shouldn't be this difficult. I went to the Barnes & Noble bookstore this morning but didn't find the books I wanted. I then went over to the crossword puzzle section and all they had were easy puzzles, so I left. I did a computer...

I just put the last pieces into the jigsaw puzzle I started on June 14. That is 1000 pieces. I thought I was missing 3 pieces but moved the coffee table a bit and found them on the floor. I'm posting a picture of the finished puzzle,...
