I almost ran into you while changing aisles and then I saw you again in produce, and again in dairy, and again…. I was going to say hi the next time! I saw you smile and I felt a connection — was I wrong?

I feel so fortunate to have grown up in Bernal. I feel no envy for the upscale parts of town. I love the amber glowing from this pic. It reflects a lifetime of warmth the area has privided for us and the community. A twenty-first century urban “Little House On The Prairie.”
