Shirley: NICE WEEKEND

Eating lunch at Red Robin with Rachel and Michael and all their wonderful kids.

Last Saturday we met with Michael and Rachel and all the kiddies. I cannot believe how big Henry is already. We had a nice visit at Red Robin and then Michael and Rachel had to catch a ferry to start back to Idaho. I loved seeing all my great-grandchildren.

After everyone left we went to the Silverdale mall. I went to Christopher and Banks and bought a nice pair of pants. I got twenty dollars off because they had charged my card twice when I was there last time. That day they were having trouble with their computer.

We wandered through this neat store that has so many Oriental pictures. I was tempted to buy something but I didn't.

Then Donna and I went into Penney's. I had my birthday card from Penny's for $20.00 off . I bought a handbag that was $55.00 but the handbag was on sale and then I got a discount for using my Penny's card. With all the discounts the handbag only cost me $23.02. It is a nice handbag. I picked one out quite quickly for me. I didn't want to keep Leif waiting too long. People who have gone with me when I shop for handbags know how long I usually take. You could leave me for a couple of hours and I would be happy looking at handbags.

Finally after many, many hours, I finally have my Oriental counted cross stitch picture finished. It turned out so nice. I have it hanging in the bedroom now. Donna helped me get it in the frame. It was worth all the work. It definitely will be the last large picture I make. I bought a kit with a Wolf surrounded with leaves but I cannot find it. It seems to have completely disappeared. I cannot image how it could completely disappear. I have looked everywhere downstairs for it. I know I had it in the bottom of my dresser drawer and Donna even looked upstairs. It is not like me to lose things.

Anyway, now I am looking on line again for counted cross stitch picture.
