The Shopping Gene

I came across this snapshot recently.

It is of my grandmother and her sister

(or perhaps a sister-in-law)

in downtown Asheville, North Carolina…

Grandma is on the right side,

and they are obviously in the big city

for a bit of shopping.

Now I know where my mother, sisters,

and my daughter got their shopping gene,

although Grandma looks as if she 

might be thinking,

"Let's get this over with."

If so, she passed that gene down to me!
