gathering gatherers

There were a few of us at the Sam's Club this morning.  Our missions were clear.....gather for the family.  I had the luxury of dropping youngest member off at gram grams so I was a sole gatherer.  The other two had at least 2 children in tow.  I had done some gathering yesterday so I only needed one thing and left with two,  I did pretty well.   Gathering is a art that I am not sure I am even close to mastering, I spend too much money, buy stuff that I only think I need and did I mention I spend too much.....I am going to be thinking more about this role and how I can get better at it.   Oh the simpliciities of the brush.
