MISS BEING ABLE TO GO TO WAL-MART

TRYING TO GET STRONG AFTER A 'STROKE'.
MISSING VISITING WAL-MART

Woke up , T V was on, had been napping. No harm.
A sales promoter promoting, put me in the mood
to go to Wal- Mart, my favorite store.
Being the day after Thanksgiving, feeling good,
put my socks on and teeth in, counted my money
and soon on the way.
Greeted by Derral , a Wal - Mart good neighbor,
recently had a nice 'write up 'of U S Navy service
during World War 2 . In the Southwest Pacific .
On into the store and in an aisle ahead was a
commotion going on , at first appeared that a man
might be trying to fight off 'killer bees '.
No, on closer observation he was talking on a cell phone , people trying to keep out of arm's length
and the motions were so emphatic that the person
at other end of phone line could somehow be
receiving image of that arm motion.
Then when up closer could plainly see he was using that newly invented 'camera ' phone. I wonder
if I could afford one ?
I never realize the need for so many things until
walking those aisles at Wal- Mart. Especially the
kitchen ware department.Newly invented devices.
Paul is correct,you could'nt have a better neighbor. sam canon city colo

SWEET WILD STRAWBERRIES

TO PAULA IN THE GOOGLE BLOGSPOT
WILD STRAWBERRIES
PAULA, SO MANY VARIETIES OF STRAWBERRIES.
THE SUPER DELICIOUS, THE WILD ONES OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA. SOUTH SLOPING HILLSIDES COVERED WITH SMALL FLINTROCKS, BERRY VINES GROWING UP THROUGH THE ROCKS. LAST DAYS OF APRIL THE PLANTS BLOOM AND AS BERRIES DEVELOP THE SUNSHINE REFLECTS FROM THE FLINTROCKS AND BERRIES TURN RED AND RIPEN.
SMALL SASSAFRASS TREES HERE AND THERE AFFORD SOME SHADE OVER THE BERRIES. SMALL BERRIES, NEVER LARGER THAN A CONCORD GRAPE. SOFT SWEET STRAWBERRIES. THESE CONDITIONS MAY BE FOUND ALSO IN ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI IN THE OZARK MOUNTAINS AREA.
I HAVE ENJOYED THE PLEASURE OF LIVING IN ALL THREE STATES IN WHICH CULTIVATED STRAWBEYRRY FIELDS ARE COMMON, STILLWELL OKLAHOMA CLAIMING TO BE STRAWBERRY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.
WE OKIES SORT OF CHUCKLE TO OURSELVES WHEN SEEING ON DISPLAY IN STORES THE BIG ROUGH LOOKING STRAWBERRIES THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS, LIGHT COLORED SEEDS PROTRUDING AND IF BRAVE ENOUGH TO BUY AND TAKE HOME THOSE MONSTER BERRIES, NOT A SPECIAL TREAT THOUGH PERHAPS IS BETTER THAN NOTHING.
OH HOW I REMEMBER THOSE LITTLE SWEET SOFT WILD STRAWBERRIES. sam
