I had planned on blogging some wedding photos this evening but can't find the CD. After blaming Rick for losing it in his organized mess of an office, I remembered he gave it to me a couple of weeks ago and I've misplaced it in the move. (Sorry Rick)
So instead, I share with you a Utah Valley experience I had this evening. Everyone in my house, except me- knock on wood, is sick. I came home from work to fix dinner and realized we needed bread and milk. I went to Macy's (Walmart is closer but that place makes me grouchy).
Being new to the area, I don't know the layout of Macy's very well. I prefer organic milk but couldn't see any in the regular milk section. I wondered if they had it in a natural food section. So I grabbed some regular milk, just in case, and sought out the nearest store employee. Here is our conversation.
Me: Excuse me, do you carry organic milk
Employee: What is that?
Me: Organic milk (as I point at my gallon of 1% hormone infested stuff)
Employee: All I can think of is Rice Milk.
Me: No, it's like regular milk, but organic. (again showing him what milk looks like)
Employee: (with complete confusion) I don't know what you're talking about. I've never even heard of that.
And then he just walked away. I completely stumped him. I wonder, is this a Macy's issue? Utah Valley? or just the employee? I was in a hurry as it was already 7:00, so I bought what was in my hand and came home.

How funny! I have bought organic milk from Macy's many times... that poor kid! Who hasn't heard of organic milk? Thanks for the chuckle. xoxoxo
I think that we had an awesome Smith's store in SLC. I could always find what I needed. I've looked for fairly common things in other places in Utah and in Texas and can't find the same stuff at times. Yes, you do have to ask the right person to get a good answer.

Welcome to Happy Valley. Love you.
Heidi- what is the from?
Heath-not a kid, the guy was probably in his 50/60's
Monica- Yes. I love Smith's downtown SLC.
That's very funny.
Hey Betsy. I saw a red wing black bird today. It's really exiting because that means spring is here. We made it trough another winter. As a bird fan, I have to tell you. I also got to see a bald eagle almost every day in February. They love the mice and rabbits in Woodruff in February. Sandhill cranes are soon to come.
