Making the Most of a Rainy Day

And then it really did begin to rain - hard. TIOGA, Powerline and Gary Hudson all left, and I decided to go grocerying. For the benefit of those who no longer live in Waterville but enjoy these daily visits, come along!

Everyone talks about going to Foodking; seeing so-and-so in Foodking; hearing such-and-such in Foodking, and making excuses to spouses and children just WHY it took an hour or more to get a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk!

It's simple!


Where else can you get your groceries and so many smiles! There are many more employees than the ones I saw this morning, but here are a few cheerful faces you may recognize. (Click photos to enlarge.)







Rick Garrett












Marge and Colleen














Jim and Doug












Jean and "Peewee"






And then there are all the smiling customers, too!


Adele and Helen,


and Mrs. Bushee and her friend Linda,

I'd have stayed and talked alot more, but had an early lunch date at "Michael's."

and Dick Brown, too.
