Yes they are, as they practically twist my arm each time I enter; you\u2019d think I\u2019d learn to go somewhere else or is it that I\u2019m a glutton for punishment?  Wait a minute here not so fast!  They have a selection of olives unlike any other place and the cheese, oh the cheese and the\u2026  Come on, I love that place!  So yesterday I needed to run out and pick up a few staples to get us through the rest of the week and these are the dishes that continue to twist my arm week after week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SSVh05WKxMI\/AAAAAAAABxk\/1zHqwdI0rjc\/s1600-h\/Dishes.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 299px; height: 400px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SSVh05WKxMI\/AAAAAAAABxk\/1zHqwdI0rjc\/s400\/Dishes.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270726500281926850\" \/><\/a><br \/>I took that picture (thinking it would last longer and so that I don\u2019t have to rush over to see what they look like &#8211; AGAIN) at the expense of getting gawked at by fellow shoppers.  So I stood there patiently waiting for shoppers to pass bye so that I could get a nice clear pic of that setup.  <\/p>\n<p>But I have to get real; I don\u2019t have the room in our little apartment to store these beauties.  I think I\u2019ll just keep looking this year.  But then again, look at these babies up close, that green would look fabulous in my new kitchen next year!  Stop it, you\u2019re just looking, end of conversation!  I really do have to talk to myself.  Sometimes I carry on three way conversations between my \u201creal\u201d voice my head and my heart.  Trust me, you don\u2019t want to listen in long on these type conversations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SSVh94URFRI\/AAAAAAAABxs\/MSIbw0FtMnQ\/s1600-h\/LoveThese.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 276px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SSVh94URFRI\/AAAAAAAABxs\/MSIbw0FtMnQ\/s400\/LoveThese.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270726654624339218\" \/><\/a><br \/>So I walk away and then I have to pass the beautiful Christmas displays, in the grocery store no less.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SSViTXQd2BI\/AAAAAAAABx0\/l_v_4uSlE1c\/s1600-h\/GroceryStore.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SSViTXQd2BI\/AAAAAAAABx0\/l_v_4uSlE1c\/s400\/GroceryStore.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270727023707150354\" \/><\/a><br \/>What\u2019s a girl to do?

No Christmas decorations for us again this year, I\u2019m just looking and basking in the beauty all around.
