Hi Debra,
It is your old friend, Sara Keets. I anxiously await your blogs as they always put a smile on my face. Yes, I too, struggle opening the plastic bags in the produce area of the food stores. It is so frustrating as I stand there and rub the sides together with no luck. then someone comes next to me and in a flash opens their bag. If it wasn’t so embarrassing, I would ask them to open mine also. What to do???? Maybe bring some small paper bags from home. Such a dilemma.
My dear Sara,
I don’t see a stranger helping out during this crisis. Too risky. Maybe a service dog? They could lick your fingers and no one would be the wiser.
