A couple years ago, someone wrote a Yelp review about the Stop n' Shop that said it looked like a "hoarder's living room." Well, that's actually pretty accurate.
However, thrift store types seem to enjoy rummaging through random junk looking for buried treasure. If not, they would just go to Target and buy that colander new for about the same price. Our prices (I think) are expensive, but then it's a high rent location, and of course, the proceeds all go to support the Senior Center programs. At least that's what I tell people when they try to bargain.
I went in Friday morning just to organize new Christmas stuff that was strewn all over the shop. Enough to drive a neat freak insane-- ornaments stuck in with pots and pans and so on. The elderly volunteers tend put things wherever there's a little space amid the general clutter. Who can blame them? The store manager is interviewing now for that open position and perhaps the new retail specialist will improve the store ambience. Or not. There's only so much you can do with junk.
It's almost time to start defrosting that frozen turkey. I'll probably buy a 67-cent a pound Jennie-O at QFC today. Here we go again. November, never one of my favorite months, at least is whipping by and we're almost in full holiday frenzy. Black Friday has morphed into Black November.
Speaking of the Senior Center, The Ukes are entertaining again at the holiday lunch and I managed to nab one of the last tickets for John before it sold out. A turkey plate and a live ukulele Christmas carol concert? Surely the highlight of his Christmas season. Ha!
