...sisters shopping together at....
WEGMANS!!!!
A piece of our childhood finally arrived in Central PA this weekend...we grew up going to Wegmans and now we get to enjoy shopping there! We braved the crowd on opening day and had a blast! How many people do you know that go around taking pictures of themselves in a grocery store? Come on...it's a grocery store! I know - we're weird...but the madness was so much fun. We laughed, tried sushi for the first time, sampled carrot cake, had some cheese, sampled carrot cake again, some apple slices, a pear slice, coffee, chocolate - good thing we didn't eat lunch before we went. But we were excited & enjoyed every minute of it!
Isn't it odd how some of the things we so often take for granted, like a grocery store, mean so much more to us when we don't have them anymore? I remember those feelings when we were in Brasil...food, stores, malls, restaurants, churches as we know them here in the USA are now suddenly different or missing entirely from our new culture. But God enables us to adapt & gives us new places that become special to us.
He does the same with people in our lives...although no one can be replaced, He continues to bring people into our lives to enhance our joy & to share moments with. I give thanks everyday for the people that I'm surrounded by - in my home, at work, at church, my neighbors and extended family & friends...we're so blessed! And shopping at Wegmans with my sister is just icing on the cake! :)
