a Super Shopping Day...

Whew, nearly wore me out...

first Norman and I garage-saled for over an hour. HAD to get to that block sale by 7:30 am, ya know! I did find a nice stainless steel colander and a couple pair of pretty earrings...Nah, not gonna wear them. The earrings are for the Christmas tree craft I'm going to do someday. I've been buying pretty and cheap jewelry down here for years to make the tree. Ran into several friends, garage-saling, it's the thing to do...Oh, Norman browses through everything...hee-hee...

Then Margo picked me up, and we went to JoAnn's Fabrics. I have all the squares for my quilt top finished now, so I needed to buy the fabric for the sashing, border and back. Margo is more excited than me! Sheesh, she nearly wore me out looking at fabrics. And I ended up buying what I planned in the beginning. She's already figured out where we're going to lay it out to sandwich the layers together, told me what else I need to buy and given me instruction on adding the sashes and backing. I guess I'll be finishing this quilt, instead of taking it home unfinished. Hee-hee....

Norman and I had lunch at a new place...the Brown Bag Burger or the Big Bag Burger...I don't know which it is. But the burgers are WONDERFUL, DELICIOUS AND BIG! We had to wait in line about half an hour, but it was worth it! I'm drooling just writing this...yum...

OH, it was during lunch I told Norman about Margo and I going to Mexico without him. He's pretty disappointed, but will be OK. We're going to stroll through all the places he and Ron won't go...hee-hee. You see, there is some kind of shopping I like to do.

The young girl who took our order mixed us up with the couple in front of us. Then she laughed and told us "we all looked alike". Hmmm, is that because we're all older OR because we're all dressed in swapmeet clothes...lol

We picked up the sunscreen fabric for our workshop windows. It will replace the window screens and provide shade and privacy. Much cheaper to buy the stuff here in Yuma, where they're dealing with RV's all the time. We use the sunscreen fabric on the RV front and some of the side windows, when we're parked.

Last stop...the Arizona Marketplace (the swap meet)...oh, yawn...I've about had it with this shopping. Fortunately, the fellow Norman wanted to see wasn't there, so we turned around and went right home...yippee!

We spent the rest of the afternoon sitting in the sunshine, drinking our drink of choice, gabbing with the neighbors and reading...
