He travels somewhere ' w/ a dollar in my hand '

Me. I went to Superstore and spent $ 108 on 7 items on the shopping list. BUT potatoes were $4.50 a ten # bag. Toilet wiping paper was 30 % off..... yada, yada  Thus, I saved money < ******* >

And some danish pastry fell into the buggy ... really !

The store was 10 % full and no wait for checkout - bonus

M feels that I over reached w/ the spuds. She predicts ' potato peel pie ' for dinner quite often. < Oh, the potato peel pie reference is to the movie ' the Guernsey Potato Peel Pie and Literary Society '. 

Now, the danish got listed under ' necessity ' and proved the ' treat of the week '. One of the fishing guys used to use that line when he caught a good steelhead on the river < or Kentucky fried rat, our name for KFC >

Thus, our cottages have been lately < since 1983 > 2 miles from Kentucky Fried Chicken store or 3 miles from the Old Railroad restaurant. Many have argued that cottage doesn't describe the situation that we've had re : food at our away places.
