HOME DELIVER

I’ve been so busy the last several days with my contest, www.FunnyPhotosContest.com a photo contest for cute or funny photos and photo captions, that I just couldn’t get to the grocery store although I needed a lot of things. But thank goodness for home delivery. And even more than home delivery, I appreciate high technology and the ability to click on the store’s website, browse through all their products on my computer screen, and select all my choices. It’s almost as if, I were walking down the actual aisles of the store.

However, when I awoke this morning I remembered that the last time I ordered groceries from the Sentry Grocery store in Madison, Wisconsin, the deliveryman did not include the milk I had ordered as the brand I wanted was not in stock. To avoid the problem this time, I called the store and requested a substitute. “No problem” the employee said and proceeded to hang up. “Wait,” I said, “I didn’t give you my name.” He then completely surprised me by speaking my name and saying he had it right there on his caller ID. I swear, high technology will never cease to amaze me – but then, I’m a senior citizen, “What do I know!”
