We went to the hardware store this afternoon before picking he child up from school. It wasn't a big box hardware store as you can see from the picture.
I love these little "hometown" hardware stores. One - because the people are nicer and they actually look like they enjoy thier jobs. Two- because they remind me of my childhood and all the afternoons I spent with my grandfather at the Ace Hardware a couple miles from his house. The fact that most of those smaller hardware stores still have the popcorn machines adds to the nostalgia from my childhood.
So when we left I snapped this picture to share this little story.
Are there places like this that remind me of your childhood?

This photo could have been taken just about anywhere in rural Australia. Hardware stores are the best.

I've found a couple things at them that I thought were cool. I have some more pictures to share in posts later.
They did have a dog and a cat that I got to love on though.
