Notable market specials in the greater Charlotte NC exurb - check your local sales flyers as well (YMMV).
I've been away for a few weeks, but I'm happy to be back! Work's crazy, but I was able to take some vacation time and go see some friends in Portland Oregon. A married couple who have been best friends with me for over 40 years. It was a joyous and somber trip: he's been battling metastatic cancer since last summer. The good news: he's already 10 months past his initial due date, so there's a lot of hope. According to her, the prognosis is there's no prognosis. They're in uncharted territory now, and the fight is starting a new round. Prayers!
Aside from that, Portland's a great area. I visited a Fred Mayer - a hypermarket chain local to there - and after struggling a bit to get a discount card account with them, discovered that my Harris Teeter card worked for all their specials! Apparently they're both Kroger sub-chains. Portland reminded me of my original home - I grew up in the mountain lakes area of Northern New Jersey, and the terrain is similar - including crisp fall mornings and warm days.
But enough about that, it's now October, and that means pumpkin spice season has been unlocked. It's everywhere. And so, for that matter, are pumpkins. I'm resisting the temptation to buy some to carve, since the kids are gone. Maybe.
