Good Evening, Flowers! It has been a cold rainy day in my neighborhood. The heat is on and working at school! We went to Sioux City this afternoon and I returned the shoes I bought a couple of weeks ago. I tried on a couple of jackets and couldn't decide so didn't buy either one. Penneys was having a sale on kids' clothes, buy one get the 2nd one for $.88 so I did some of my Christmas shopping. The mall wasn't crowded and it was nice not to have to fight the crowd.
"Gma" -- It was nice that Jack took the day off and you could make your trip to the commissary today rather than tomorrow. Gas was $2.58 here this afternoon. I remember gas, bread, and cigarettes all being 25 cents! I was pretty little, but my dad made his own signs for the station and I remember watching him. My mom used to give me a quarter and I would go to the store for a loaf of bread. Jason's Deli sounds like my kind of place . . . strawberry shortcake . . . YUM!
Maggie -- The baby bear gift is a nice and useful gift. Our hospital gift shop sells them and we are usually down to one each time I work. I'm sure your friend will enjoy the glass box; I agree that a child's birthday party should have a ! I couldn't help but notice all of the Christmas boxed gift items in the stores today. You will have a good start on your Christmas glass gift items.
Susan -- I've been known to have things written on my grocery list and still forget to pick them up. It's a good thing I don't have to drive very far for a return trip. Sometimes I will have Bob stop on his way home from the office. We are supposed to be warming up for the weekend and have some sunshine in the mix. We've had too many gloomy days this week!
I am off to start a load of laundry! Have a great weekend!
Jean -- from Iowa!
