| Good evenign all!!
I have been having fun this weekend. I went to Goodwill yesterday, and picked up 2 very nice sweatshirts. One is probably a $70 hoodie, and the other a named designer one with a rip in the shoulder. I am going to just put a "jeans patch" on the inside to hold it together. That will be the one that just hangs out in the back of my car for emergencies. I also got a cheese grater, and a 2-pack of water bottle tops.
Then I went to one of my favorite stores - the discount book store. I needed a birthday gift for my boss, and found one I am sure he will enjoy. Then I was looking in the history section, and found a Christmas gift for the son of friends, he is into World War II - it was a photo book, coffee table size, of all the planes, etc. He will enjoy that. A calendar for my nephew, and then a calendar for myself - a crochet pattern a day for a year. That is a gift for myself.
Off to the produce market, and lots of good fresh produce there. Then on to the mall to Hallmark. I had 3 B1G1 Shoebox coupons which expire at the end of this month. So I just found great birthday cards for well into next year. No stopping to shop anywhere else either. I even parked as close as I could to the Hallmark store, so I wouldn't be tempted to stop and window shop.
Today, was just to the local convenience store for the Philadelphia papers, and across the street to the local market for cat food (with a coupon) and a pot roast.
The only other place I went was to my girlfriend's for lunch. She wanted me to create a pattern for her for a snowman pin to crochet. That was easy - 2 circles (the bottom a little larger than the top one), sewed together and she will then embroider a face, and the black buttons onto him, glue on a pin back, and she is done. In return, and in addition to lunch and her fine company, she gave me a butterfly frige magnet she created. It is nice to have friends with whom you share a hobby.
Well ladies, got to go - it is almost dinner time, and I need to finish the sweet potatoes, and the corn for the meal.
Take care all!! Norma
