A woman's view part 3

It is around 150 miles to my home. I live somewhere close to the mountains.
It always reminded me of the old days back in the Wild West.
The frontier open for anyone brave enough to venture out into the new world and discover its beauty and its danger.
Trouble these days is the world has caught up with it.
McDonald Signs and adverts line the roads. Supermarkets and Multinational Service stations appear every five or ten miles. They spoil Mother Nature’s natural beauty.

I had the radio on and he sang along with a few tunes. All the time he looked around at the country side asking questions like a child on their first outing.
I actually felt quite motherly.

We arrived in the main part of town and stopped to get some supplies.
“What ya need?” He casually asks.
“Well! We will need some drinks and some munchies.” I say in a sarcastic tone.
He shrugs and says. “Ok, I’ll pay.”
As we wander around like a married couple. He throws things in the trolley.
“Oh this looks good. Ever tried this?”
He seemed not to care about cost of things just what I liked and didn’t like.
Now for the booze.
To be honest I do drink a bit but GOD, did he ever go overboard.
Three crates of beer, six bottles of mixed red, and six bottles of white (only cos they were cheaper by the dozen. Did I say he didn’t care about cost?)
Oh and throw in a bottle of whiskey.
OK it was Scotch whiskey. Not that I would know the difference.
Then he asks if I like the mixers.
“GOD this man is totally out of wack.”
“In a nice way of course.”

The meat section was next.
“What do you like?”
“Chicken.” I tell him like a good girl.
A couple of packs of steak. A pack of sausages and finally some chicken.
Chicken breasts no less. Throw in some drumsticks and chicken thighs.
“You like vegies?”
“Of course!”
He walks around as if he is the chief inspector of the store checking the produce.
He throws in allsorts of bits and pieces.
“Ok I’m done!” is his blunt remark.
“You sure?”
“Got freezer bags? “
“No”
“Got a freezer?”
“Yes”
“Ok I get some bags.”

The checkout loomed.
I was so glad he was paying for this.

The lady on the checkout was in a grumpy mood.
“Hey Hey Hey!” He called out to her.
“Careful with the goods girl. You having a bad day?”
She look at him.
“Ya’ll ain’t from around here is ya?”
He leaned forward and looked her straight in the eye.
“Nope! But if I had known they had beautiful women like you around I would have come here sooner.”
She was taken back.
“Ya’ll just say that.”
“Girl, there is only me and YA’LL better get use to it!”
She laughed her socks off.
She carried on processing the goods through the checkout and the two of them bantered away as if they had known each other a life time.
I didn’t even pay any attention to the cost as I had been too busy laughing.
He just chatted away to anyone and everyone that would listen.
He made a hell of a lot of friends that day.
He even got invited to the local.
