Friday morning bright and early my health food fitness loving daughter calls me, at first her overly cheerful voice frightens me, because I know whats coming next, she wants to spend some quality Mother/Daughter time together.....The conversation starts out like this, " Wakey, Wakey, sunshine, how about a day together". I thought it sounded great, but I was curious...."We could go get a bikini wax OR we could go to our local Whole Foods/ Farmers Market and you could buy some organic fruits and veggies". Wow, she had me at organic.....Not......My daughter has been trying to get me to go to this place with her for months, now grocery shopping for me at any store is painful much less organic grocery shopping....So I picked the bikini wax....I will let you guess where we ended up at......At first I went kicking and screaming but she assured me that she would talk me through it.....Whatever, give me processed, I grew up on lard for goodness sake.......
We started in the fruits and veggies and I will have to admit that I didn't know there were that many different variety's of pairs and apples (If it ain't sold at Walmart or Kroger then I'm not sure I need it ).
Her first stop was all the free juice samples (and they were plenty) she went straight for the watermelon, pineapple, lemon mixture with a smile on her face, " Oh let's try this", all I could think of was the damage that the Master Cleanse Juice mixture did to my intestines, I just looked at her and said, "Seriously".... My little princess was in her element......
Half way through the store I started to turn, I started to see things that I wanted to try and a whole lota of things I had no clue what to do with in my sheltered hillbilly mind and I liked it....I was getting the fever until we came upon a large shelf of organic maple syrup, then had a few master cleanse flash backs (not good, as a matter of fact I just threw up a little bit thinking about that...sorry) We turned around another isle and I was in HEAVEN.....Cheese Heaven that is.... I have never meet a cheese I didn't like, I could eat the stuff all day long, and this place has plenty and every kind imaginable....I just stood there staring, my daughter stood proud....she done good, mama was buying cheese...organic or not.
Another small section was a beautiful bakery with lots of cakes and cupcakes, tarts and a lot of things that didn't go with the natural and organic order she was pushing for....It quickly became my favorite part of the store......Along with the mini tart I purchased.........
We topped off our organic and natural days of shopping with a quick lunch at Wendy's...besides, nothing says all natural to me like 100% pure beef ....... My daughter just rolled her eyes like she always does......I just love mother/daughter bonding days.

Very sweet and funny post. I wish my daughter lived closer. I'm in Montana, and she lives in Alaska - she teaches school there and has her Masters. Guess she better stay put, because she has a really good job.
A very sweet post. Mother daughter bonding days are precious. I always have fun with my mom. Sounds like you two get along wonderfully!
