Last Monday I woke up in the mood to take a little drive to the city nearby to do some fun shopping. I don't do that so much anymore but occasionally I will. It's approximately a forty-five-minute drive. The small town where I live doesn't have any of these stores.
First stop was Hobby Lobby. I needed a few things there.
While standing in line to check out I saw the pickle flavored cotton candy.
I passed that up.
Next stop was Michaels. I found no crafting items on sale but I did get two very cute candles on a half price sale. I'll add photos in a future post.
Panera Bread was close by so I went in to get a few pastries to take home - a big treat.
Shopping would not be complete without a stop at Barnes.
I spent some gift cards I've had since Christmas.
All the shopping gave me an appetite so I made my way to get
some good home cooking food.
I ordered the chicken and dumplings meal with 3 sides. I was astonished at the huge bowl the server put in front of me. I ate what I wanted and took the rest home and I had enough for two more meals. And it was so yummy!
Years ago I didn't give a second thought to driving to another town to shop but at my age it feels like a commitment. I always consider the traffic and the hassle of making several stops which is now physically tiring. But I'm still game to give it a go when the mood strikes.
'till next time ...
