"Where would I find cocoa?"
This question and ones similar to that are upon my lips to the grocer in whatever town I find myself on any given day. One of the challenges of traveling is learning the new grocery store. I do my best to remain teachable and I do enjoy learning how to get around town find the short cuts and local favorites but what aisle is the tuna in...... (I want to know but I don't want to have to learn)
The other day I went shopping and I was saying to myself, why am I dreading going to the grocery store? It came to me as I was driving in the truck by myself...it takes me twice as long to shop because I am still learning where things are. So, if this is my biggest challenge as a traveler than I will be doing great, don't you think? And I will not starve my family . . . maybe I need to take one of the kids with me in the next place we move to so we can go for a trial run the first time, just get acquainted with the store and perhaps picking up a thing or two and map out the store.
This is real life.....and no I don't want my own reality show. Living it is enough for me.
