Saturday Shopping

Several fun birthday-related errands to prepare for my brother's dinner tomorrow night had me up and running today. I wasn't sure whether stores would be busy or not, but I found that most people were spending their Saturday in other ways, which was fine by me. 

Even so, every place I went, I ran into someone I knew, or rather, they ran into me. Since I was so absorbed in selecting the perfect ingredients for the meal, I never saw them until they came to say hello. Seeing my neighbors out and about gave me a warm, small-town kind of feeling, which was a nice welcome back after spending a week away.
