THE PRUNE ANGEL

Okay, so Kim has a story to tell. It's about her Prune Angel at the grocery store. ......

i just shared my story with mark and he instructed me to blog it, so
God sent me a prune angel at woodmans today.
i have this attraction to prunes lately. even the children love em. and a while back i found that we liked the dole brand the best - they are the yummiest, moist, best for your buck, just the right stickiness - well, i could go on and on. anyway, the store has been out of that brand every time i've been shopping for months now. hmm. everybody else is on to my idea now i guess. we've tried about every other brand that is out there and none have measured up so far. so today, once again we were shopping in the prune aisle. i asked the children to help me hunt for our favorite brand. hogan even pointed out that he couldn't find em. and it was then that the prune angel appeared. there was no music. but she really came out of nowhere. she was just the right age for a prune angel too. she had a short grocery list in hand. she came alongside us in our search and pointed out that woodmans doesn't seem to be carrying dole prunes anymore...they really were the best brand because of the taste and price...and now it looks though they are substituting the del monte prune packages...although it is disappointing that the new product is only sold in 8 oz packages whereas dole was a 10 oz bag ...so she decided she was going to buy 2 packages... off she disappeared down the dried fruit aisle. i mumbled a few comments as she spoke agreeing and understanding every helpful word. then i asked the boys to put 2 packages into our cart and off we went to complete our 3 hour grocery shopping trip.

well we tried out those del monte's and i guess they are pretty good. we'll have to put it past the mark test.

stay tuned for more prune funnies. i really do have some other prune stories. do you know that i once served as a prune angel for the grocery stock guy as well as other prune customers. :)

aww-- i liked this story! i've actually never had a prune because i really don't like the word 'prune.' but now i think i need to try them!

oh--and a three hour grocery trip?! yikes. my two hour ones are insane! you are going to have to give me some pointers on making grocery shopping more fun. well-i guess next time we will be going on a prune hunt-- so that should at least be a little fun. =)

love ya-- val
