Calendar Shopping

On a cold and snowy evening I went to buy a new wall size calendar. My shopping companions were James and Jacob (a dangerous combination). I had been to several office supply stores and they no longer carried the size I needed. I went to Staples and asked for directions to the calendar section. The large calendar was not found. I was so sad and frustrated. I really needed the large wall size to fit everybody's schedule and activities on. James and Jacob were running up and down the aisles, or was that exploring? At last they thought they had found something. Up on the highest shelf, laying flat, with only the spine showing looked like a large calendar. There were other items piled on top. I could only barely touch the spine if I jumped. So I went to get help. The sales associate brought a ladder and as we entered the aisle there were James and Jacob, looking guilty. One was on the shoulders of the other trying to reach the hidden item. They succeeded, and yes it was a wall size calendar. I was happy to have this shopping expedition over. I went to purchase the item and was surprised to know that the price was $25.00. That's more than $2.00 a page! Okay, I grumbled. It was snowing outside so she put the calendar into a very large bag and we left. It wasn't until after dinner that I realized that I hadn't checked the year on the calendar. Maybe I bought last year's calendar again. That would explain the reason for the calendar being tucked out of the way. Oh no. Now I must say I believe in miracles. I was so grateful that my calendar was for this year!
