dear dave,

This morning's trip to Home Depot (with hexy) sent me down memory lane.  It was like seasonal whiplash.

Walking in -- Pumpkins, mums, cinnamon pine cones.  All these crazy memories flooded back.

Last year's pumpkin score, carving contests, cabin weekend, buying grill, last-minute Christmas tree last year, spring flowers, corn plants, artomatic lights.  So many year-round events remembered through the prism of Home Depot.  It takes us through time.  Hand-in-hand.

I got all warm and fuzzy, walking to the lumber aisle, looking for my single piece of sanded plywood.

Then Hex was all crabby because I took 5 extra minutes going back for a price check.

Nostalgia, warm & fuzzies, sweet feelings > over.
