There are many convenience stores in Southern Delaware. This one is situated on a lake and I love it for all the American symbols and icons displayed, including the pickup truck parked on the grass.

This is cute! The place has vintage appeal; so glad to know these stores are still out there. You did a lovely job.

I love these stores, especially for the ice cream novelties they usually have for sale! Your sense of place and atmosphere is this are spot on - really wonderful work.

A fabulous painting to my eyes, Cecelia! It brings up all kinds of thoughts of summer for me. And I so love road trips so this type of place is right up my alley!
