I had a nice outing with G. We went to Target, then out to lunch at a new place, and stopped to pick up a few items at Giant.

I saw a bunch of marvelous looking watermelons. You know those small, round, sugar melons? I found one that knocked nicely ripe and put it in my cart.

At the check out they didn’t bother to put it in a bag. At my car, I did put it in a bag. Good thing too.

Back home I hit the button to open my rear door and that’s when it happened. The watermelon made a break for it!

I heard the rattle of the bag as it hit the driveway. I jumped out of my van and ran to the back in time to see the watermelon begin to roll down the driveway and head to the street with a car coming!

With no time to spare I reached it and snatched it into my arms. Melon rescued!

I checked it over and there was not even a tiny crack. Yay!
