shopping – Cookies & Moo

I got up early and went to church at 8 AM. Something I rarely do. I like to go to Mass on Saturday during the vigil. I am not known as a morning person. Worked too many years on night shift I guess. Anyway, I picked up my girlfriend Iris and we headed to Wilmington to do some shopping at Joanne’s. I needed some buttons for a couple of table runners I made for gifts and needed a long length of Christmas fabric for my guild’s Christmas Party that is on Tuesday.

We stopped at Denny’s for breakfast first. Oh it was so good. I haven’t had breakfast food for ages. We both had the pumpkin pancakes. Can I just tell you they were delicious. They may have just slipped into the my favorite pancake spot. So with full bellies we hit the Joanne’s store.

I found really nice fabric for the table cloth I need for the party. Found my buttons, and picked up a few things I just had to have. 🙂

Of course it seems we can’t leave the house without hitting at least one food store. I am however, so glad we did. I picked up some lamb chops. Oh my word, they were too good. I haven’t had lamb for a long time. Gary didn’t like lamb, so we never made it. Once in a great while I would have it while out to dinner over the years. I miss my mom’s Lamb and Turnips. Now that was some good eating.

I only have 19 days to read 5 books if I want to meet my goal of reading 100 books for the year. I just downloaded some Christmas themed books to finish out the year. Think I’ll make it?

I found this picture when I was going through old files on discs. It’s my high school senior picture. I can’t believe how much my youngest daughter looks like me. Been told that for years, but couldn’t really see it. Thought I’d share.

Well it’s finally happened. Our cupboards are bare. Looks like I can’t put it off any longer. Food Shopping!!! Hubby always goes with me, which you would think would be a help, but…he thinks of food shopping like it’s a date. He loves to go and I hate it. He reads every little label, and goes up and down every isle even if we don’t need anything in it. Sometimes I find excuses not to go and he goes by himself. But not a chance of that happening today. I have to run an errand too. So, one car equals we go together.

Would love to attempt to sew something when I get back. I’ll let you know how that works out. Keep cool, it’s hot out there.
