Shopping Marathon

We had such a perfect day yesterday, temps right at 70 degrees, sunny and very little wind. Would have been a great day for working in the flower garden but we decided a TJ Maxx-Home Goods, Marshalls and Ross shopping marathon was in order. We left home at 10:30 and arrived back at 6:30. It was a wonderful day and we can't wait for another shopping marathon.

first stop was Marshalls and we found time to visit 3 for the day

Ross' just happened to be next door to Marshalls

had to run through Arbys for refueling

nothing beats their cherry turnovers for extra energy

we hit 1 huge Home Goods store

and 3 regular TJ Maxx stores

all in all it was a great day and here is a picture of all our bargains -- assorted dishes to match what we already have, a couple of Christmas presents, 2 new rugs for the renovated bathroom/dressing area and 3 gorgeous glass heart ornaments

Road Trip

Mom and I took a quick 3 day road trip to Arkansas to check on Uncle Richard who just had surgery. He is progressing quite well and expected to be chasing his cows and horses in a couple of weeks. We enjoyed our visit with him, Aunt Mary and Betty so much and are thinking of you every day. Even got a 5 minute visit with Bruce.

We like to shop at TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Ross stores and managed to find 6 of them on the way down. Nothing like bargains to make a trip more fun.

We stayed with Aunt Zelda and thoroughly enjoyed our visit with her and Uncle Bill, Mark and Skyler. She had coffee ready for Mom and RC for me when we arrived. They had lazagna ready to eat and blueberry cobbler for dessert. Couldn't ask for any better arrival than that. Time flew by too quickly and it was time to come home. Miss you all.

One the way home we stopped at an antique store in Jackson and found an iron fence section for the flower garden. We also had 1 Marshalls store to stop at and Aunt Linda just happened to call and caught us shopping. Needless to say she and Wayne Bob were not surprised.
