Try Something New

This old gal…

Is addicted…to chapstick…have been forever…like 55 years forever…those little tubes hidden every where…drawers…purse…pockets…car…more drawers…dresser…can’t go ten steps without finding one…

Back in the day…flavor choices were limited…regular…cherry…grape…the flavor of choice for little chapped lip me…was grape…this cousin of mine and I would giggle…as we lay in our sleeping bags…she slathering her lips with Vicks…little me…grape Chapstick…

Then it happened…grape was gone…chapped lip me was devastated…regular was laughable…strawberry hard to find…cherry…was ok…until now…those Chapstick flavor gods…creativity gone wild…

And so it was…in Dollar General…this old gal drawn to the Chapstick displays…overwhelmed by the choices…Spa Collection…Ice Cream Collection…Vacation Getaway…Tropical Paradise…it’s like that Calgon Take Me Away commercial…which pack to buy…where does this old gal…want to go…

But then it happened…amidst the glory of those fancy flavors…the eyes rest upon a grape…a lone grape in a single pack…

Mr. Lone Grape…is this old gal’s new best friend…along with green apple…who came along for the ride…and we can’t forget lemonade…and even…

Pumpkin pie…

Now that’s something…to be thankful for…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
