#80……Revisiting a Midwest Winter

       Judging by my Facebook gang, I’m probably the only person who truly loves winter and does not want it to end….. yet.

#33…Don’t stop a #junker from #shopping! ! !

I have my problems. So hubby (6 year old who shaves) and I go shopping at #chandlermerchantmall. We are killing some time and he tells me to…… take my time.

#24…Buzzing #bob’sbigboy #drivein ! ! !

Took a walk down memory lane at #chandler’s #merchantsquare. Not often we walk out of a place with $$ still intact. To say the least, they were pricey.

#15…Sometimes you go #Shopping…Sometimes you shout #dillydilly !

  I have problems…I believe that with my bulldog tenacity I could bargain down on some of these items anywhere from $50 to $125 off.  But I don’t have…even for 1 of these items…. the extra $400 to $2350 to pay the difference. Thus this is a dream building shopping experience…..gleaning morsels of ideas, paint Read more about #15…Sometimes you go #Shopping…Sometimes you shout #dillydilly ![…]
