Holiday Shopping

I was shocked at the lack of people in stores today. Maybe we were just early and people were not home from work. There were a lot of cars on the roads, but traffic flowed at a "normal" pace. I prefer to shop online and only have to talk with the UPS person or USPS person. Sometimes, when one least expects it, an interesting character graces ones' presence. That was the highlight of today. A stranger, who did not seem like a stranger was talking to us, strangers from her point of view. Based on our conversation, I have a feeling our paths will cross again.
