Neighborhood Grocery

I left the store full of people when my shift was over today and it was a good feeling. Friends eating lunch with a dog at their feet; elderly women picking through the tomatoes; a little girl excited about our new shampoos; a local couple bringing out-of-town friends by for a sandwich and coffee.

It remains to be seen whether or not a mom-and-pop grocery like mine can make it in this town. But I am so very proud of it, and on Saturdays at least, hopeful.
