Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton and their baby grandson, Aiden, were spotted at a grocery store in Chappaqua, N.Y. on Wednesday, doing their Thanksgiving shopping.

Hillary Clinton joked that Bill was “looking at cheese” while she was taking pictures with other shoppers, according to NBC News.

"They were so relaxed and shopping for Thanksgiving dinner at the local village market," Valente told NBC News. "They were so nice talking to everyone, wishing them happy holidays.”

Valente added that Hillary said, “We must stay strong together no matter what. Thank you for your support."

I see all of our pain in her eyes.

Funny, when I learned the horrid news that morning, I couldn't help but think how devastated she must have been feeling.

We're all devastated, but this cruel reality must be worse for her.

I'm still wearing my Hillary tshirts. And will continue to do so.

She is who she is, and we are so fortunate. It will be interesting to see what she does next.

But first, she has a few months to recover.

She hasn't been allowed to since the 90s. I guess she will need to renew her driver's license first.

The relentless, ceaseless picking apart of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

And we were the ones purporting to be on her side.

Neither of us meant anything bad.

Apparently it's easier to attack a fellow Dem than go face the real foe.

But the narrative of Hillary as "other" has been so pervasive it creeps into our thoughts and consequently, our language. Sometimes it's difficult with the written word to convey meaning because we lack facial expression and tone, which are often more important in human communication than actual content. Your post as written did not clearly communicate the hope and well-wishes I know you intended, and would instead likely read to a stranger as "otherization" of Hillary, of which there has already been so much.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Durham, I see it is a near perfect day in NC today. Enjoy.

It's so difficult to bring these things to the fore - obvious as they are, knowing the response will be so often defensive, reflexive or dismissal.

We simply do not have the luxury of continuing the charade.

I've been a Hillary supporter since way back.

Wished she'd got the nom over Obama.

I said there was no smile in her eyes. I'd say the same with my friends.

But hey, impute bad things into my comment all you want.

Sheesh.

You have a nice Thanksgiving now, ya hear?

Every time I see pictures of Hillary it brings it back all over again.
The goddamn election happened.

Wisconsin...wtf?
Michigan...rly?
Pennsylvania...GFY!

I literally have taken those states off my intended places to return to or visit during the next 4 years...which is hard for me since my family is from Michigan City, Indiana on the southwest border off Lake Michigan.

Regardless, I see photos of Hillary and I think to myself of what living slime is actually going to take office and I want to die rather than live in this shit hole country with the bigots, morons and hateful asshats that are proud of this...

It is NOT our national shame that Hillary was beaten...it IS our national shame HOW she was beaten, and that stain is just added to those of Native American genocide, African-American (and other) slavery, voter suppression, resistance to equal rights of ALL kinds and the fact that a broad swath of our citizens prefer to be lied to and given fantasy rather than face truth and work for common solutions.

Fuck THIS America...it is not worthy of respect. Goddamn it....I have again gone from sadness to a burning sense of rage. Again. It will be a miracle if I manage to not die of a massive heart attack in the next 4 years. An absolute miracle.
