A Pilgrim's Journey

I always like to save the best for last, logic being that the flavor remains titillating the senses for much longer. The sampler pack of Gourmet Coffee was down to the last sachet of Moose Munch, by far my most favorite of coffee flavors.
When I opened the 4-cup sachet, the aroma of the ground coffee reminded me why I love Harry & David's signature coffee Moose Munch. Determined to get a refill on the scarce supply of yummy-in-a-cup, I found 3 locations, and insisted on going to the furthest location.
I flew across the United States (about 6 hours) to get my first bag of Moose Munch, which filled my cabin bag, and delighted the TSA security ruffling through it. And the sampler pack I mentioned above needed a 2-hour drive from Erie, PA to Grove City, the only passable shopping center in those chilly recesses. Reasoning is that 'happiness is a sense of fulfillment which comes from hardwork'. If Harry and David is achievable in 15-minutes, I'd surely enjoy the coffee less than my presently perceived measure, which is Cloud No. 9.
And I was glad I went all the way to Lincoln City. Besides ample of Moose Munch flavor coffee, and a trunkful of shopping, I attained an EyCatcher, a colossal Wind Spinner for the porch.
