Feet up, good book, glass of wine and thou

Remember that old saying, "All I need is a loaf of bread, a glass of wine and thou and pretty soon I'll be overweight, tipsy and saying something I shouldn't".

A friend of ours told us about that today as he remembers it from a Mad Magazine (Alfred E. Neuman) from the 1950s.  He remembers these little tidbits from half a century ago and is quick to point out that where he leaves his car keys is always a mystery.

We enjoy his visits because he is full of life and good will.  His complaints are with a wry smile and few and far between. He laughs a lot and others who come into our store are always included in a conversation like it or not.  We imagine now, that the sun is setting, that he has hustled up a fire, sat for few minutes book in hand and wine glass on the table next to him, some music and perhaps a knosh.

We sold him his wine. We are glad we could contribute to his day.
