I went crazy

Tweet

in the USA as I kept buying clothes. First, the weather was in the 60's so it was o.k. and I was so happy to be with two of my children plus DIL and grandson. He ran down the hall to me in school - I did not think that he would remember me as he was four years old last Saturday and I hadn't seen him for 6 months. But he did and we gave each other lots of hugs and kisses and it was all so great. when I arrived at my Daughter's home guess what was there? a parcel of different kinds of toffee from Lilybug. Oh, it is so good. Never have had candy like what she does.Totally amazing. I had to hide some before everyone ate it all up. I wandered around the shops in a daze until my D and DIL took charge. They just parked me in front of the changing room and I waited there whilst they came with arm loads of clothes. I've never bought so many clothes at one time in all of my life. I bought 4 dresses, two - two piece outfits, six tops, 3 pairs of pants, 4 pairs of shoes. It was incredible. I didn't have this amount when I got married! I went to Walmart where I got fantastic material at 1.47 per yard for my gift baslets. I also went to dollar store where it did not take long for me to fill a basket. Kohl's was on my list and then on the way to Jefferson City we stopped at - I've forgotten the name. (Is it bath and beauty?) A shop where you buy bathroom products , soaps and creams etc. The sale was incredible and I bought Christmas presents!! Fantastic buys at two and three dollars. The drive to Tennessee was wonderful and so was the visit with my friends. We had a fun filled time just being together with their family and on Saturday celebrated Zachary's birthday. I was so happy to see Tennessee - such a beautiful state. North Carolina is beautiful too. We did so much shopping at a store called ROSS'. Loved it. Oh, and I waved to my Mylot friends in N.C. and Tennessee. On Sunday, there was SNOW. I have not been in snow for thirty years and oh, wasn't it cold? Monday morning I was hoping that the flight would have been cancelled but the international flights were not cancelled - only the domestic flights. I had dinner one night at Olive Garden and a breakfast at Ihops - cholesterol heaven! The only sad thing was that my son has lost his job as the company has closed down. My son and his family will be home in June as my DIL's contract will be up by then. She had a 3 year contract teaching at a middle school in N.C. They want to see more of the world while their son is young so are planning to go to another country - perhaps the U.K. as Stefan is British or Dubai or Jordan for two years. I had the most wonderful vacation and feel so happy to see my daughter's home and how she has decorated it. Even going through Immigration and customs was not a chore as everything went smoothly. Sorry that I have had to delete my friends' postings - there is no way that I could reply to 174 emails. Have you had a vacation wheer ewverything just went right?
