This will be the weekend I try to get it all done. It really is nice to have a truly "general" store in town like J.D. Redhouse, that's locally owned (not a "chain", yet), and stocked with good quality inventory. You can drive away from here with everything from a bale of hay, a pony bridle, and birdseed, to a bath mat, boots, and a bra (or berry smoothie). But what to get Mom?

I 'd steer clear of hay and bridle for Mom. Just a suggestion.

You made me laugh out loud and John's still sleeping! (Or he was.) Then Virginia made me laugh again.
Nice cowboy - he probably hangs out with Mufflerman in the off hours. Congrats on the Pomo seal of approval - it's a nice thing when someone local likes your photos enough to want to use them.
You and Virg made me choke on coffee. That's hilarious.
Beautiful shot, E. I've said it a dozen times but I'm going to say it again... I just LOVE your photographer's eye.
The cowboy seems to be lementing over the menu - no whiskey, no steak, no coffee made over an open fire. & yes, very funny - both you & V.
V - Thanks for the tip (smarty). I tried to get a picture of the hay in the loading dock, but it was too dark. It'll happen.
P - And now you made ME laugh! Poor John.
Benjamin - And this cowboy is undersized. When will I find one that's right in the middle? (Thanks.)
Laurie - At least you waited until a sensible hour for a Saturday morning. As it happened, I didn't get her anything on that list, but I did go to J.D. Redhouse today. Got her a nightgown and a turtleneck.
Tash - Poor guy! They used to have him inside, with the chalk board listing the ice cream flavors. No steak and whisky there either.
Great photo and cute narrative!
We had a general mercantile store in the small town where I grew up and one could get just about anything you needed all under one roof. For Mom, how about some new PJs or slippers?
Susie - Don't tell her yet, but I got her a nightgown.
