It was a little annoying…  I know Fred Meyer’s does this at a certain amount (I think $50) but usually it’s posted.

A Midday in Eagle

Winco can wait!

I had an opportunity today.  NO KIDS…An OUTING…No special agenda (aside from a meeting and a couple errands).  I was on my way to Winco on the way home and was sitting at the light at Fairview and Cloverdale when I saw it.  The OPPORTUNITY!  The OPPORTUNITY to go someplace I’d never been but always [...]
