The lady had unloaded her cart, then stretched out the bag across the buggy, at which point she'll load up the bag for the first time. I didn't get with the program until she had already stretched out the bag. Sorry I didn't mention that bit. Only thing is, it's going to be pretty heavy. Everyone brings their own bag in these parts.<br />@Essay: It's surprising how quickly one 'becomes one with' knowing just how much can be carried in one bag. Some folks bring those little two wheeled carts. I swore I'd never.
