Shopping Days.....

Have not had the time lately to do much on my blog...I apologize.   Having company and having lots of work has taken over lately.

Our two 16 year old guests cute as can be have kept us pretty busy.  I have seen more malls these last few days than I care to.  Yesterday I took them to Sawgrass Mall (http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=1262) .  Not my kind of place.   Too big, too many people.  I prefer the smaller malls with more specialized stores.  My favorite is The Galleria Mall.  Small enough so that you do not get trampled and run over by millions of shoppers looking for a bargin.

Not all was in vain.  The girls did some pretty heavy shopping.  Even I was amazed at the shopping power in a 16 year old.  Some amazing buys were found.  Just look at the pretty shoes they got.....  I look at these young girls shop and I see how times have changed.   They must have spent a cool $600 together in just a day of shopping.  When I was little that was unheard of.  We move with the times I guess.   My honest opinion is that it is still too much.  I like the way I was raised where I appreciated what I had and was always thankful for it.  Seems those values are no longer the same for some.  I am afraid to ask what we are doing today......

This quote so very describes these two young shoppers:

Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping....

until next time...
