We drove down Main Street to the town’s only liquor store this evening, we bought a bottle of wine. I have some red wine once in a great while, but I have largely given up drinking.  An older man with heart disease and diabetes doesn’t need to drink a lot of alcohol.

I’ll join Maria in a glass of red wine once in awhile. Maria drinks very little, sometimes she has a glass of wine.

I love the way the liquor sits out on Main Street in the dark, it is a beacon of sorts. Businesses come and go in a small town, there are just not a lot of people too sustain too many businesses, but, the liquor store has been here a long time and will be  here for a long time, I would imagine.

The owners have a quiet border collie who visits from time to time.
