Last night as I was coming home from running some errands, I
thought I would swing by Fresh and Easy to pick up a few things.

Uh, not going to happen.
I walked in and saw this
I'd had no idea they were closing!
(This shouldn't have been a shock to me, but it was.)
This nice little store never had a chance
with this big store across the street...
and another one, Save Mart, on the opposite corner.
But that's why I liked that little store. It was never crowded.
I often had the store all to myself. For nearly 5 years.
And they had a nice gluten free section.

But you know what I really liked about it? It was here that my
granddaughter Elora taught me how to use the self serve check out.

We came here many times after school
so she could try the samples while we shopped.
We liked the close up front parking for moms (and Grandmas.)
(Elora is only 8 here, and Cami is just 5 1/2. These pictures were taken 7 days before Violet was born.)
taking pictures but was told, "No photography in here M'am."
That made no sense to me. So I asked the clerk if I could at least
walk around the empty aisles one last time. He went with me.
I told him…"but my granddaughter use to dance in this aisle…
so could I please take a picture of it?"
He said "Sure M'am." I like the man's heart.
No more dancing in the aisles.
I wish Elora could have been with me this morning.
She's 12 now!
Good bye Fresh and Easy.
Since you took your food away, looks like I will have to go
elsewhere to make more memories.
It's been a nice 5 years.
