"Smile because it happened"

As soon as she gets in the door at Hank's Supermarket in Twisp, Nova makes a beeline for her kiddie basket. Heaven help Amanda if it's not there! Here she is, careening around the wine department and deli-- I never realized a little cart and little hands could move so fast. But there were smiles and indulgent glances at the adorable sight of Nova "shopping." Although when you get home with the groceries, surprises sometimes show up. Along with the usual healthful choices, there was a package of bologna even the dog wouldn't eat. And a 99 cent package of instant cobbler mix that John did eat.

On Saturday we had a good time at the Twisp farmer's market and in Winthrop at the Trail's End Bookstore. Having lunch in a restaurant, we were sure proud of our well-behaved granddaughter. Or maybe it was the French fries and ketchup?

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
