..and yet there is always something that we forget to buy..and have to go back for….:) Loved this Mark. Simple. Real & True. I can make out a shopping cart from your words too but that might just be me…mesmerized by all the shopping Ann and I have done. :) All the best! Cheers - Gary

Hi, Gary. Thanks for brightening my day with your thoughtful comments. It’s as you said at the start—there is always “something we forget to buy…and have to go back for…” I scattered the word “shopping” to illustrate shopping’s hit-or-miss nature. I love how you said that all the shopping leaves us “mesmerized.” Brilliant!
