It was our day to shine at our local food co-op. Well, actually, it was a special day for …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

… our Kettle Chili <\/a>and all the special people that give us such an amazing place to shop, dine, make new friends, and even …<\/p>\n

listen to live music.<\/p>\n

I have two lapel buttons that tell the world how I feel.<\/p>\n

#1:\u00a0 I LOVE MY CO-OP<\/p>\n

#2:\u00a0 KISS ME, I’M ORGANIC<\/p>\n

… a couple of Co-op factoids: my dad’s sister, Sandy Ogle,\u00a0was one of a small group of people that started our Co-op some 30 years ago; my dad served as chair of the board not so very long ago; my mother\u00a0was instrumental in\u00a0the charge to move the Co-op to a bigger and better space when I was a kid.<\/p>\n

It was during the era that she\u00a0worked full-time as a carpenter. I remember her working late at night, night after night, but we didn’t care because in one of the upstairs rooms, she rented\u00a0a TV and movies for us\u00a0(we didn’t have a TV at home), enough to last\u00a0the entire month that she pounded nails, hung sheetrock, and transformed an old Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet into an organic Co-op. Go mom! I love you and I’m grateful for your involvement in the community that I am now raising my family in. Oh, and let’s not forget the tiny little kid-size shopping carts you donated to the Co-op that my girls LOVE to use, pushing them around OUR, no,\u00a0MY\u00a0Co-op, acting ever so grown-up. Yup, three generations of Co-op-ers.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
