Hi Dave,

I'd probably take some of that. The pie is a treat for me; I grew up
with my dad growing a patch of rhubarb every spring and mom making pies
from it. One summer I worked at a camp and during our training week or
so, somebody had donated some strawberry shubarb pies. I like both
strawberries and rhubarb, both together and separatly--those pies were
yummy!

That's why we ate lunch before doing any shopping. Lots of folks out for
pre Labor day shopping so there were a lot of "try it" stands scattered
thruout the store. Of the different things we tried, we brought home
some strawberry granola and a triple pack (3 different kinds) of Kind
granola bars. We didn't try a lot of stuff as we were full from lunch
but those were something we might have bought without trying anyways.
