Shopped til we Dropped

Monday-pool time-clean up. Shopping day. JoAnn fabrics-I need batting for the Rte 66 quilt and it's 40% off. 15 people in the check out line and only 1 register open. Left the line. We'll be near a larger store later today. Down a few store fronts to Bealls outlet. Mondays are Sr. Citizen day. 15% off for those over 50. We each bought new suits. We had a list of quilt stores to visit and the GPS ready to go. The first store turned out to be machines and parts only. No fabric. On to visit 3 Dudes. I know it's just off the highway. I wasn't believing what "Katie" was telling me to do. This just isn't looking familiar. Ok, let's go with "Katie" and see what happens. Now I get it. 3 Dudes are off I-10, not the 101. Now it makes sense and looks familiar again. Ray gave us a demo of a quilt pattern he's developed and the free pattern. I can share, if you wish. I found the book of patterns to use with the X block templates. I've been looking for it along our many quilt store stops. Another stop. Yes, they could direct us to Paradise Bakery & Cafe. I knew there was one in the neighborhood. Had a late lunch and took the laptop along so we could use free wifi. That's how I've posted the previous 3 days worth of blogs. But, you can't copy/paste into the blog from Word. Dang it, had to retype it all. One last quilt store, and we were shop-hopped out. Let's get some gas ($3.41) and head to Fresh Produce for some new clothes. One sales lady and she had a great sense of humor. We left her with a disarray of clothes to put back in place. But. we spent enough to make it worth her while. Stopped at the JoAnn store-large, clean store and I got my quilt batt. Back home about 7:30. Talked with Karen (& Palmer). They're staying with his family not too far away. We;'ll be joining them for brats Tuesday night. They leave early on Wed. morning, so no ride sharing to the aeropuerto.
