This day would have had wayyyyy more scores on the things-not-working-out list had it not been for you three!

People’s- For having the fabulous little co-op in SE Portland from which I can buy local, organic groceries at prices often allowing my moolah to ALSO be sustainable. And for the little shopping carts so Lil’ E can help me shop, and for the kids corner when he doesn’t want to. For the locally made nutritional yeast (score! it’s delish) and for .99 cent/lb local/organic apples and navel oranges. For carrying local raw goat’s milk. And bulk bees wax for 6.49/lb. I could go on.

Bella Stella- for the great resale clothes, slings, and more, but more importantly, today, for showing me up to a room full of large boxes and telling me to have AS MANY AS I CAN CARRY! After getting lost driving around in b.f.e. outer SE Portland to get boxes that were no longer there, I could have KISSED you!

Tiny’s Coffee – For the kombucha and veggie sandwich on wheat that sustained me while I ran around running errands on a chilly, windy day.

These establishments DESERVE the support of us Portlander’s! Bravo.
