Ready to Quit
I had to go to town today... again.
Sheesh.
Seems like I just went!
I made a day of it, picking up my Food Co-op Basket.
Grabbing a bagel and chai at our little local bakery.
Heading to the post office to mail my watercolors and some gifts.
Meeting friends and their dogs... I didn't leave Ten Sleep until hours later!
Arriving in Worland and shopping and shopping.
Actually in truth, I went to the parts house, co-op, and Pamida.
My house is decorated in Pamida specials... and today towels and curtains and rugs and canned food was on sale!
Then I went to the grocery store.
I know I've talked of doing this...
but somehow I thought I needed to share this with you.
This is my Durango.
I *must* own a vehicle whose seats lay down.
The red/blue blanket is for emergencies... the backpack is full of dog supplies... just in case!
Normally, it would be two bags of dog food...
Cottonelle... large pack... no explanation necessary.
This side has my emergency car kit... plus curtain rods, towels, rugs, curtains, etc. Pamida specials all!
Six cases of canned vegetables.
OK. Some Halloween candy. No, we don't usually get trick-or-treaters... but *just in case*!
The back view.
Yes, we support Pepsi products - canned in Worland, you know...
That's the case of cucumbers for my pickle relish I hope to make tomorrow...
But to the question of could I fit more inside this car?
You bet!
I'm quite good at this job.
Remember, I used to do this with three kids and diaper bags too!
I managed to unload it and get most of it put away before I ran off to the neighbor's tonight where we made gallons of applesauce.
I'm ready to quit for the night!

Halloween candy? Just in case? My foot......! I think we all recognize rationalization when we hear it. Wouldn't you be bummed if 100 kids showed up at your door tonight! That's what happens at my house.

oh how familiar!
a year ago, (while I was still living on a ranch in bc), I entertained a handful of people in the Costco parking lot. Yes, it was fall and my last trip to the big city with snow-free mountain roads so I was stocking up.
My SUV was filled to the ceiling, including the passenger seat!

Go girl. Aren't we glad not everyday is like that. But we are glad they do come when they come. Something different makes for good.

Here's yet another question from the girl from Alabama, recently transplanted to Wyoming. What do I need to include in my emergency kit for my Jeep? Hopefully I won't be stranded ... but let's face it, it might just happen. Thanks!

Good question again. I have: blanket, tp, jumper cables, hard candy, tow strap, light, screwdrivers, pliers, leatherman tool, short rope, plastic bags various sizes, gloves, jack, hat, reflective hazard signs, shovel. Walmart/Target usually sell a premade kit in the wintertime in their automotive section. It's pretty good. Mine even has a little bitty air compressor that can actually air up a tire, given some time!

Well, as I scrolled down this story and all the picture, I was thinking your last photo would have been Dally or Elsa dressed in a bright Halloween scarf, sitting in the front seat at your co-pilot! Just be sure they don't get at the candy!!
