A Fun Day

Today Kyle got to go on a youth trip to Michigan. Beth and I needed to go shopping for some new shoes for her. But today turned into a day of shopping. We spent about 4 hours at 7 different stores and got a couple of great buys. I had a 15% off coupon for Kohl's and another for Lane Bryant for spend 50.00 save 25.00 (can't beat that!) Beth and I really enjoyed spending our day together. We loved the shopping, enjoyed laughing together, had lunch and we even spoiled ourselves by stopping in Fannie May Candies for a couple of pieces of candy. Oh, and when we got to the shopping center, I pulled in by a meter and Beth just had the greatest time putting in the money and watching the time go up (we actually stayed in this outdoor mall longer than planned just to "get our moneys worth" lol). The funny thing was, she really has only seen one meter in her life before this one and really didn't have any clue about them at all.... it was really cute!! I would have to say, although this wasn't a planned day...at least not THAT long of shopping...I enjoyed this day very much. As we were driving home, I was trying to think of something that Kyle and I could do for an afternoon sometime... days with the kids are going to be gone so fast. It is such a blessing to be able to spend time with them.

I'm glad that you and Beth had a nice day together. Isn't it funny the things that we are accustomed to that our kids may know little if anything about. Two things that come to mind are typewriters and rotary dial telephones and dial locks.
