Hi

everyone,

My

hubby is gone for the weekend so my sister and I planned to spend yesterday

together. I need some new tops and some other clothes for this time of

year because everything I have is too small. Now you have to understand

that I usually hate shopping. I told sis that I wanted to go to the

used clothing stores because I'm almost all the way off of the Pred now and I

will be losing weight. She said she knew just the place and she took me

to the Goodwill Store. I thought she was joking but NOT! OMG we

had a ball. I found 2 jumpers, 2 skirts, 2 blazers, 4 shirts and all

for under $20. We spent hours in there.

From

the Goodwill we went for a drive and ended up at the other end of town so we

went to a Family Dollar Store. Yup, I spent more money. I got 2

caprie outfits, an ice tea pitcher and a cute little turtle wearing a hat to

put into my flower bed. We left there and went next door to K Mart

where I got a pair of shorts and 4 more tops and 2 pair of sandles.

We then

went for another ride around that end of town and then about 8:00 we went to

Olive Garden and had a wonderful and relaxing meal. By then my legs

were telling me they were not used to this kind of treatment. LOL

Too bad legs, we are going to be doing more and more of this!

Today I

am sore. Some of it is just from using muscles that I have not used

much in the past year or so but the neck, shoulders and upper arms and the

disease. I'm sure I'll get a lot of it worked up or riled up as the day

goes on. I plan to make rhubarb jam and some rhubarb pies for the

freezer. I have to wash all of the wonderful clothes that I got and I

want to work outside some today. I will not be on the computer much

until evening.

I hope

some of you are able to have a nice weekend also. They come so far and

few between and we must charish any that we get. I laughed so much

yesterday and I am sure people thought we were idiots but who cares. We

had a ball.

hugs

and wishes for a pain free day.
