Mom and I had to run some errands on this cold, windy Easter Eve, and while we were the way back home we stopped at Walgreens to pick up some Jello that was on sale. FYI - if you live close to a Walgreens and you like Jello, that's the place to buy it. They always have coupons in their sale papers for Jello and other cool things like canned Mandarin oranges and tiny shrimp. Since the store was literally on our way home, we stopped in there to get our Jello. Let me say that it's taken us ten minutes to calm down after we got home. It was a madhouse. I'd guess that 90% of the customers in the store were in the Easter candy aisle. It was quite a frenzy. Picture if you will frantic mothers and grandmothers, grabbing at Easter candy as if they were grabbing for a life jacket on a sinking ship. They were just reaching in and grabbing candy without even seeing what it was, and tossing it into their shopping cart. As I saw arms and elbows moving in all directions, I said a quick prayer of thanks that we didn't have to buy any Easter candy today or else would have probably been trampled. It reminded me of a farm scene - when the farmer pours out food for the hogs, and they all run up and congregate around the feed, rooting and shoving to get their spot at the feed trough. Yep, that's what it looked like at the Easter candy aisle in the drugstore.
