Happy September!
September is here already! Time has flown for some of us and time has slowed down for others. I think one of the hardest things to discuss with those younger than most of us is to enjoy where you are right now. We are always in a rush to finish one grade in school to get to the other or finish this year because next year.... For me this last year and a half has made me try to enjoy each day and what it has to offer a little more than I did before. I am one of the lucky people that can see most days as a brand new start to enjoy my time seeing our customers, seeing our employees, having time with family and friends, doing something for someone else or whatever comes my way. I try to take each moment in stride. It definitely isn't easy all of the time but I love all of it! I have always said I love Fridays because it's the end of the week (mind you I still work on weekends) and I love Monday's because I get to try again.
Take some time this month to enjoy the events and things around you. If you have never been to the Field of Honor ceremony attend that event on Graves Mill Road this Sunday, Sept 5 at 4 pm and then again on Sept 11 at 8:30 am. It's free to attend. Lynchburg and the surrounding areas has so much to offer our community. Volunteer if you have time - Meals on Wheels could use some help and many other organizations - Foster programs, CASA, Big Brother Big Sister, Jubilee and so many more. Go to the high school football games. Attend the local theatre group shows or the local school shows - you wouldn't believe the talent we have in this area. Walk the Trails and visit our parks. Yes - there are restrictions now, that none of us like but wash your hands, wear a mask if required, be thoughtful of your own trash, cleanliness, etc. and enjoy the beauty of everyday even through the dark times - Find your Blessing, your gift, your Joy - and maybe just maybe figure out how to share that with others. Be polite, be patient, be kind.
Don't forget to plan ahead for traveling sports, lunch at a park, trips to the mountains or lake or whatever your retreat may be to get out of the house.
We have everything you need - Fresh Fried Chicken, Hotdogs - with all the fixings - Macaroni Salad, Potato Wedges, Chips, Snacks, Drinks, Beer and Water and so much more.
If you are Grilling, we have Charcoal, Lighter Fluid and hopefully Propane Tanks ready to go! Don't forget the Ice, Waters and 2 liters and Moore's Chili!
We are closing early on September 5 and 6 - Please call in your chicken orders ahead of time if possible and have them picked up by 5:00.
You can order your food online and our chili sauce spice pack at www.moorescountrystore.com.
Don't forget we have GrubHub and DoorDash for your convenience as well.
Sign up for the Shell Fuel Rewards Card - You start with 5 cents a gallon with the potential to get more, I got 25 cents off a gallon the other day. Shell is now doing deals in the store too, if you use your card for everyday purchases. Once you sign up, you will get emails telling you what the deals will be each month. You can also use your Kroger Card to save 10 cents a gallon for gas if you spend $100 or more at Kroger each month.
Don't forget to take the time to thank a firefighter, police officer, EMT, volunteer, hospice worker, caregiver, cashier, cook, dietary aide worker, truck driver, greeter, etc., I can't even begin to list all the people that work everyday behind the scenes and right in front of us, that put their lives on the line to protect us and serve us. Be patient with those working, it really is a thing that places are short of help and the same people are working to be there for you. If for some reason you have a bad experience somewhere - just think - can I do what they can do? it's easy to say - yes - but remember the saying about walking a mile in someone elses shoes - it's not always as easy as what you think. The folks that are showing up have a lot going on themselves outside of work too, just like you.
Have a Safe and Happy Labor Day Weekend!
Thank you for supporting us and all of the other businesses in town, we all really do appreciate you!
