We went to Cincinnati this week to visit our oldest son. \u00a0We also went \u00a0to Jungle Jim’s. \u00a0Jungle Jim’s is a grocery store, but not just any grocery store. \u00a0It has so much more than your average grocery store. \u00a0Come along with me and I’ll show you.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8911\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Does your grocery store sell Hookahs?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8912\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or have rickshaws on the shelves?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8917\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jungle Jim’s has themed areas. \u00a0Guess why they have a USN fire truck on the shelves?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8919\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because it’s the Fiery Foods area. \u00a0Hot sauces, hot mustards hot condiments, hot everything. \u00a0 I have never seen so many different hot sauces.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8939\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I loved their names. \u00a0Beast Killer.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8929\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ouch.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8923\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Never slap your mother. \u00a0No matter how hot the seasoning is.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8924\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m whistling now. \u00a0Just move along.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8921\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Think this might be just a tad hot???<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8925\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This hot stuff cost this much. \u00a0You got to really want to burn your mouth to pay this much.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8915\"<\/a><\/p>\n

David found a hat to wear in this section. \u00a0I think it suits him.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8910\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We saw Sonny and Cher hanging out.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8965\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fresh fish. \u00a0So many kinds. \u00a0Octopus even.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8963\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Large tanks full of these. \u00a0I’m not a Peta person, but I still feel a little sad to see these waiting for their destinies crammed in tanks. \u00a0 I don’t think I could put one in boiling water, but I have eaten them and they are tasty.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8953\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All kinds of sodas. \u00a0Would you like a peanut butter and jelly soda? \u00a0 I’ll have mine on bread, thank you.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8942\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN8949\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All kinds of coffees. \u00a0I loved the colorful packaging.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8977\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This sign does not refer to David or Jason.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8978\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It refers to the wall of jerky in all flavors. \u00a0I never liked jerky except when I worked at a Stuckeys when I had just graduated from high school and they sold beef jerky there. \u00a0I ate it occasionally, but haven’t eaten any since.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8986\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN8987\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a lot of cheese.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8980\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This looked very strange and was all prickly.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8981\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this may be an acquired taste. \u00a0At almost sixteen dollars each I don’t think you’d be buying them often either.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8968\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember the movie, Aliens? \u00a0 I think I know where they are keeping them. \u00a0Is Sigourney Weaver anywhere close?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8954\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re this kind of person you can drink this…..<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8956\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSCN8907\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Something to look at everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8991\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cheese!<\/p>\n

We spent a couple of hours walking around and looking at things and I purchased a few things. \u00a0I can never find Adobo here so I got a big jar of it that should last us a while.<\/p>\n

Now for some absolute cuteness. \u00a0We were going to try to find another registered Labrador Retriever next Spring. \u00a0 They are hard to come by. \u00a0I wanted a brown female. \u00a0Then a girl I know put this on Facebook.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8902\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Boxador. \u00a0A cross between a Boxer and a Lab. \u00a0I fell in love. \u00a0I told David I had found our next dog. \u00a0She has seven brothers and sisters.<\/p>\n

Through the years, my daughter would peruse the newspaper and show me new puppies for sale or to be given away. \u00a0She talked me into a couple of dogs. \u00a0I even found one myself years ago. \u00a0There was an ad in the paper and I drove out to the country where a whole slew of children and puppies came running out the door. \u00a0 The puppy who didn’t run from me came home with me. \u00a0We named her Samantha. \u00a0She was a sweet dog, but she was a very nervous dog. \u00a0I always wondered if she had eye problems because when I would take her for a walk, she would jump at garbage cans sitting by the side of the road and even mail boxes. \u00a0One time I was getting ready to walk her and had to go inside for a second so I looped the leash around the wheel of a brand new grill David had just gotten. \u00a0It sat on our back deck. \u00a0While I was inside, Samantha must have moved the grill a little and gotten frightened because the next thing I heard was a crashing and a bumping outside as Samantha dragged the grill behind her down the steps of the deck. \u00a0I finally got her captured and the grill nor Samantha was hurt, but I never did that again. \u00a0 \u00a0Samantha lived for a long time, but she never got over her nervousness.<\/p>\n

But back to the Boxador. \u00a0David and I drove over to see her and she is so adorable. \u00a0She has both brown and black fur and a cute little black face. \u00a0I held her and she went to sleep in my arms. \u00a0I couldn’t bring her home yet as she was still too young.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8904\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She wobbles when she walks. \u00a0I could call her Weebles, but I already have a name picked out.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8901\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Who wouldn’t love this face?<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8900\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She was yawning here.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8899\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She is going to be so much fun and such a good friend. \u00a0I can’t wait to bring her home.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN8894\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bonnie and Belle haven’t a clue what’s coming. \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n
