Some Days are Easier than Others.

Haha! I had my first and only experience at Costco a couple of months ago. It was marvelous, as soon as the Sams membership expires, I’m going Costco.
Hi Nelson…this is Not a Sponsored Post…I just really enjoy the Silly Magic of Costco. 🙂
As someone once told us, we buy our life at Costco
Groceries and Entertainment…doesn’t get much better than that.
Wow, shopping with you at Costco sounds a lot more fun than my version – get in, get out as quickly and painlessly as possible 🙂
Too funny, Joanne…for your in and out trip, look for a bit of the Magic…it just might be hidden but in plain sight. 🙂
I love this post! We don’t have a Costco where I live — yet. One is supposed to be built next year and I’m eager. Meanwhile, I always go with my friend in London (Canada) when I visit or sometimes when we visit the kids. I love how your framed this post — wonderful photos and a really good look at America “living large!”
Mr. Doodle looks so comfy in that chair … the one that is not going home!
America “”living large” for sure…perhaps a sad commentary, but it’s much more fun to see the crazy humor in this place, than all the social issues that swirl all around us.
Great post! Thanks for sharing.
You know, that’s probably the best day those demonstrators ever had! 😀
You’re probably right! I hope the cart guy doesn’t get fired for his crazy lifting stunt. Hope Costco management doesn’t sees the post. All the demonstrators wanted the blog address…you know, now that they’re “famous”…too funny!
