good things come to those who...

waiting in line at Foodtown, i of course pick the checkout aisle with an older lady buying three times as much as me, who then has to have it delivered home. it takes a while, in fact i stand in line longer than it took me to do my shopping. but at one point she waves her hand at me (i'm listening to Aimee on my ipod) and asks if i want a piece of candy. it was a butterscotch, the kind my Grandpa used to give to waitresses & anybody he talked to while we were out. i smiled and thanked her. she said she was sorry for making me wait & i told her i was in no rush. the candy was good.
