"Gma" -- Have fun at T's birthday dinner tonight! What kind of food does the Melting Pot offer? I hope you can get tickets to the mystery dinner in Branson.
My favorite store in the mall is a HUGE Penneys store that they are in the process of remodeling so EVERYTHING wasn't where it should have been and some things weren't there at all!
We did go to the mall a couple of different times so I finally did find some capris and a couple shirts. On our last trip, on Friday, I found the zippered 'furry' Columbia jacket that I needed, and looked for, at the beginning of the week. When I asked about sweatshirts and/or spring type jackets clerks would look at me like I had two heads! All of the stores had all of their summer clothing on sale. I'm not sure you could buy shorts or a swim suit in August! 
I need to finish unpacking and putting stuff away. That is never as much fun as getting ready to go! Have a nice rest of the day and enjoy!
