A Walmart Experience Not To Miss !


So Joey, my pet name for Jolene, searched through my fridge to see what she could rustle up for lunch.
 "You'll have to do a serious shop Kyle," sighed Jolene, giving me an annoyed look and throwing her hands up in the air she continued, "there's virtually nothing in this fridge." 
I printed a few of my emails off
 "Yeah, yeah" I placated "see what you can do while I just go and check my emails and I'll let you run me out to Walmarts for a big shop."
Jolene set to work making spaghetti and meat balls, humming a country and western tune as she set about the meal.
I printed some of the emails off, just a few sheets and carefully read over them. I was just about to switch the printer off when....
 "Come and get it Kyle ! Before it gets cold."
Walking up to the table, I looked at what Jolene had cooked for me. Mmm, a little different though not much different to my spaghetti bolognese. Nevertheless I smiled, pulled the chair out and sat down, putting my email print-outs on the table. 
"Mmmm this is good," I half lied. Well there was nothing much in the fridge but I would of done with a jelly sandwich. A large mug of Kenco complemented the...meal.
 "Can I get you more coffee Kyle ?" She smiled...such a nice smile.
 "Um, yup." As Jolene refilled my mug, I picked up the emails and had another look at them.
Jolene tilted her head to look over what I was reading. "What you planning Kyle ?"
 "I thought I'd look over some American Quarter Horses for sale or loan, I'm thinking about doing some trail rides about 5 days long at least. Trouble is, I would have to employ someone to take the rides out or to look after this place while I'm gone. What you think ?"
 "Well I do know some places where that's done...it could work if you get a reliable person."reassured Jolene who was now leaning on my shoulder, and nibbling and breathing into my ear.
 "Cut it out Joey, I need to concentrate !" I got up and put the emails into a folder for future reference,  "You got time to take me to Walmart or what ?"
 "Yeah, I can always tell my boss I had a blow out and couldn't get it fixed if he calls in with another job for me." said Jolene, laughingly.
Hope Jolene don't want to look at the fashion section

Walmart was situated just a little way east of Twinbrook, at a place known as Sweet Water. Let's see, it's 30 minutes drive to Twinbrook and then 5 minutes more and we would hit the outskirts of Sweet Water. On the journey we discussed the possibilities of trail rides going out onto the prairies, through forests and such then all too soon, we swung into the parking lot.
 Inside Walmart, the shoppers were all sizes some with a weird and wonderful sense of dress. The aisles were filled to bursting with everything you could possible need as we scooted round filling the shopping cart almost to overload. Where was I gona stash all this ?
Jolene motioned to me saying, "Just got to get me some more smokes. Won't be long." 
Such a lot of cookies to choose from

Just lookin' at the shelves cram packed with cookies, when...
"Ouch ! Watch out where you're pushing that...c-a-r-t." I hissed...slowly like...as I caught sight of the gorgeous female, not looking where she was going.
 "Oh!, I'm terrible sorry..."
 "Um, not to worry, my fault entirely Miss, I wasn't looking where I was going." A broad smile came across my face as she...smiled too...I think she liked me!
 "Please, let me make it up to you ?"
 "No need to, as I said it was my fault. My names Kyle, pleased to um,..."
 " I'm Dixie...and this...." She got a card out of her purse and handed it to me, "This is my number if I've done any damage to your pants, let me know...I mean it."
We lined up at the checkout
Wow ! I watched her walk, no, I watched her butt wriggle her way to the checkout. She raised her hand to her ear while walking backwards, mimicking a phone call. That's one I surely won't pass up. Dixie...she said her name was Dixie.
I wonder where Dixie is going ?
 I met Jolene and we waited our turn to pass through the checkout, paying by credit card. Taking all the groceries to Jolene's horse box, I saw Dixie. She had already loaded her shopping up, and was walking back across the green. Wonder where she was off too ?
On the journey home, I fantasized about the next meeting with Dixie, cause there would be one !
