On my mother’s side.

Writing a Grocery List

We were sitting at the dining room table. The afternoon light was nice.

There’s just one item on this list.

And Laura wrote it.

Cantaloupe.

Roy (2 3/4) is busy writing down some other items he’s like to get at the grocery store.

This is the third time I’ve posted about grocery lists it’s a topic I think about frequently.

You eat. You need to shop again. Cook. And then again. You need ingredients.

Do you make a list to take to the store?

I write a list and then forget to take it with me. I love finding other people’s lists in the cart. (Click to see old post)
