I order online and Amazon has next day delivery. Thinking about placing grocery order online with Walmart and just picking it up. I shop online from the comfort of my home...won’t deal with the doorknobs...causes me too much stress. Just my two cents.

SPC Nancy Greene We are pretty much the same, although wife wants no part of online groceries. This was an online order pick up at store to get out of shipping charges.

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the music video of Canadian singer Carrie Underwood performing 'Just a dream' live
Song background "This is the tale of how a young wife tries to cope with the death of her soldier husband.
This was written by Gordie Sampson, Steven McEwan and Hillary Lindsey. The trio also wrote "Get Out of This Town" on Carnival Ride. Additionally Sampson and Lindsey wrote Underwood's 2005 hit "Jesus, Take The Wheel," together with Brett James.
According to an interview with Sirius radio's New Country station, this was the first song that Underwood picked for Carnival Ride.
This became Underwood's seventh country #1 in November 2008. It was the fourth single from Carnival Ride to achieve pole position. This made Underwood the first solo female artist to pull a quartet of chart-toppers from one album since Shania Twain in the mid 1990s. The Canadian singer's set The Woman In Me contained four different tracks that reached #1 in 1995-96."

Performed by two of the songwriters
"Just A Dream" written by Gordie Sampson, Hillary Lindsey and Steve McEwan performed by Gordie and Hillary at Ocean Way Studios in Nashville.

To be honest I prefer Hillary Lindsey singing her song with Gordie Sampson playing his acoustic guitar.

'Just a dream' written by Gordie Sampson, Steven McEwan and Hillary Lindsey.
Lyrics
Verse 1]
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe
Something borrowed, something blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Trying to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldn't believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hand

[Chorus]
Baby, why'd you leave me?
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

[Verse 2]
The preacher man said, "Let us bow our heads and pray
Lord please lift his soul, and heal this hurt"
Then the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest song that she ever heard
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart


[Chorus]
Baby, why'd you leave me?
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream
Oh, baby, why'd you leave me?
Why'd you have to go?
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream

[Outro]
Oh, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, yeah"
