Thanksgoating - Day 547 - Hats off
14So it’s been a minute, so here is today’s fun story.
When I got sick about 2.5 years ago and had to learn how to use my legs again, I had a walker. Hated it. Needed it originally to get from the couch to the bathroom across the room for a bit. I eventually got a bit of strength and learned how to drive again, and my workout of choice was walking the aisles at Wegmans. I’d leave my walker in the car and just find the closest cart near me and that was my new walker. I’d get in the store and would just stroll… It was my zen spot. Just loved going slow. All the staff were awesome. I remember the first time I could cover every aisle (it’s not a small store). Anywho… I fell in love with Wegman’s and all the folks who make it so great.
I bought my cowboy hat a bit over a year ago, because after my thing I’m now pretty much a ‘Why the hell not?’ kind of guy. My favorite Wegmans cashier, Toni, always said she liked my hat. I told her one day that I’d get her one. That was probably over a year ago and it has been a running joke during check out every time I see her. Today I brought her her very first Stetson. It’s not a very fancy one, but my debt has been paid. Thank you Wegmans for all the free physical therapy
And again. sorry for all the words

DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
Was the Cat in the Hat when it got Sat on?
The word count wasn’t burdensome since you provided the picture in lieu of the last thousand.
Wegman’s is worth walking, I wish we had them around here. I even ran across one that had an O-gauge electric train running around overhead in part of it.
@werehatrack We have an O-gauge track in our shop as well. I also have a few hand built O-gauge trains from my dad that he made in the mid 1940’s. I grew up in the 70’s with the big boy Lionel stuff
@capnjb I had American Flyer from the '50s, including one of the switch-annihilating 4-8-8-4 locos. I sold it all off to a collector 35 years ago. I should have kept it.
Well cool. I bet you made that woman’s day big time.
@Kidsandliz Well, Ms. Lidz, I think everyone had great fun.
