When You Take Your Camera….
Do *not* forget that you left the battery in the charger at home! Such was my lot this evening!
I had removed my battery from the Nikon late this afternoon as it was run down quite low. When the time came to take the kids to their Bible study, I grabbed the camera bag, but inadvertantly left the charger with the battery still in it on a desk. When I reached the camera out of the bag and composed a shot, I was puzzled for about 2 seconds, before remembering what I had done.
At this point, I decided it was time to recycle the soda cans and bottles in the cargo area of the Explorer. I gathered up all the bags, placed them into a shopping cart, and headed into the bottle return room at Wegman’s. Have I ever complained er, commented on how I cannot tolerate the scent of stale beer? As I stood in line awaiting my turn at the recycling machines, I watched as several college-aged kids deposited seemingly endless beer cans into the mouths of the machines. Finally, I was next!
I inserted my cans and at one point, the machine abruptly came to a crashing halt….immediately spitting out my receipt and announcing on its message window that the machine was now full and call for assistance. Thankfully, almost as soon as the machine stopped, I heard someone working opposite me, removing the crushed cans from the bowels of the machine. Then the door slammed shut, sending a breeze of stale beer right into my face. Ugh!
Upon completion of returning my cans and bottles, I wandered into the store, undecided about what to do next. As my stomach grumbled, I went to the Wokery…..Chinese food served buffet-style. I spotted a spicy chicken dish that looked good, so I placed some fried rice into a takeout container, then placed the chicken on top. I also thought the stir-fried green beans looked tasty, so I threw some in as well.
After paying for my meal, I began walking over to the bistro tables to perch and eat my meal. As I meandered, I walked around a yellow cone marking a wet area. As I looked down, it was obvious someone had gotten sick to their stomach on the floor, and I ***flew*** out of the store and off to the Explorer! One thing I cannot tolerate is that!!!!
I plopped onto the seat, placing my meal onto the console of my mobile office. The console now was serving as my table! Before I ate, I remembered my handy-dandy cell phone had a camera so I thought I could possibly get some photos after all!
This is our local Wegman’s store. It is quite “humble” compared to many of the fancier high-end stores located in more lucrative areas. However, Danny Wegman lives only a few miles from this store!
A not-too-masterfully-focussed photo of my delicious meal, despite being eaten at the “office”!
As I was finishing my meal, I had to pop the door open and take a couple of photos of the sunset.
Oh how I missed the Nikon….or, well, the Nikon battery!

You should see the new Wegmans store in Liverpool… it’s the new store design with a clock tower.. it looks like it’s part of a small town main street. I spend way too much in Wegmans so I only go there about one or 2 times a year.
Oh, Terri, I work at Wegmans, and have trained myself not to spend or eat while at work. Very difficult when one works in the yummy bakery, mmmm! Do you like the clock tower? I thinks it is a bit over the top. Big controversies about it around here.
Mom, that last picture make the horizon appear to be on fire! What a great shot. Not too shabby for a cell phone camera!
Actually the last two pictures look like there’s a very large fire (which of course there is!)
Terri, we saw one of the “fancy” Wegman’s a few years ago in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It was on Michelle’s birthday, and we were traveling, so we stopped and ate there. She was so thrilled eating upstairs! It was a day we all remember fondly.
Carly, that clock tower isn’t over the top….you haven’t seen Danny’s barn!
And yes, Carly and Bill, I was realllllly *longing* for the Nikon, as it would have done a fantabulous job capturing that epecially outstanding sunset. Note to self: send Mark requisition for spare battery!!!!
