Today we went to CostCo to get the tires rotated on our 11 year-old Honda Pilot. As we walked in, I noticed a red bench for customers to sit on while they wait. It was hot outside, and no one was at the front desk yet, so I sat down and scooted back so that I could sit up properly. Ed looked over at me and saw that I was swinging my legs as I sat, since my feet didn’t touch the floor. He shook his head and chuckled.

“It never gets old, does it?” I asked.

“Nope!” came the response.

Fast forward 30 minutes. This time, we’re inside CostCo, shopping while we wait for our car. We’re not in a hurry, so we’ve been exploring every aisle, checking out what’s new, and what’s cool. Finally, we get to Ed’s favorite section – the refrigerated fruit and vegetable room. Usually we go in for lettuce, cucumbers, and the like. But, our garden is starting to produce, so he’s mainly there for the cool air. I’m there to see if there’s anything I want.

He spied the tower of blueberries. Although we went berry-picking yesterday, there were no fresh blueberries to be had in the fields. Blueberries have become a favorite in our household; we eat them by the handful as though they are candy, especially when we’ve picked our own.

“Hey, go check out the blueberries,” he suggested, nodding his head in the direction of the display.

I looked over and observed the tower. Sure, I could check them out… on my tiptoes. The boxes were piled high, to the point that if I walked over and stood next to the display, my nose would just reach the top box so that I could peer over the top and see the blueberry containers. I raised my eyebrows in response, and the expression on my face communicated a single, unspoken word. “Seriously?”

Once again, he shook his head, and chuckled as he walked over to the blueberry display and easily began picking through the containers, reaching deliberately for one in the back that I would never have been able to see or touch.

“Never gets old, does it?” I asked again. This time, he just laughed.

In August, we will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Apparently, it never does get old. At least I have kept him amused.
