Martha was in my Beautiful Neighborhood

One morning I was at the grocery store really early in the morning. I love to go grocery shopping, but I can't handle the noise and craziness. I go early. Anyway one morning I was in the parking lot on my way to the car when I saw this really pretty woman. I instinctively new she wasn't from around here. I didn't let myself stare because that's just against the rules when your from the lower middle class ( and I worked hard to get there) and you know that person is from the upper class. Later that week I read in the paper that Martha had been hiking in the national park nearby and had been to antique store where I practically live. She was all the talk at the antique store. I walked around the shop wondering which items she liked and didn't like. They sell lots of oil lamps. They are really special and I collect for those occasions when the electricity goes out. The old dishes from Hall and also Chef's Ware are pretty special to me as well. I was intrigued with Martha since probably 1995 when I started reading her magazine. During the difficult times when she was away from her usual life, I read the magazine even closer. The lady who was the editor was funny looking, and I read her column because I wondered how difficult her job was. She's not the editor today. Well, I'm off to bake selection #2 from Martha's baking book. You don't need to wish me luck because I'm working on the "simple" recipe section of the book. Ciao.
