We SHOPPED TIL WE DROPPED.......

THREE granddaughters, a SATURDAY afternoon and a .................

MALL !!!

EVERYONE knows that when you are planning a HUGH shopping day, you MUST start the day with plenty of good FUEL for the trip.....

We decided CHEESY SCRAMBLED EGGS would fit the bill and get us on our way !

Just for the health kick needed, we added some LIGHT & FIT yogurt.... (actually, they would have preferred a cinnamon roll, I'm pretty sure!)

The very first things found were REALLY brightly colored shirts, shorts, skirts...and a little cloth doll with bright PINK hair.....

The shirts were so cute....but DEEDS decided this doll with the PINK hair is still the cutest ! "OK, little one....I get the message!"

GOSH.....I think she is in LUV

You know how SHOPPING brings on THIRST...We had quite a few of these on this shopping day ....

Then we found a store that had the CUTEST sunglasses....

After trying on EVERY pair in the shop (OF COURSE !)...

.....we chose the ones we wanted and headed for a bench to gather strength for another round.....

And, just around a corner, there sit a man making the NEATEST things out of balloons ....

This little brown "thing" was supposed to be a horse and it WAS cute....

but in this picture, I am afraid it looks more like what the horse might have LEFT BEHIND !!!

.....and a beautiful SNOW WHITE DOVE......

A long-tailed, little MONKEY...

The best part of THESE purchases was that all of the money went to fund a Mission Trip to .....wherever needed........to help put back together lives of little people much less fortunate than OUR children.

I LOVE this kind of spending ! And I give Glory to God for having these kind people spend their time and caring enough to be doing these things for others.

Coming across this colorful sign in the candy store reminded us we needed.....

L.U.N.C.H.......

before having our "SUNSHINE" of the day.

AND, besides all that.....we were needing ANOTHER one of these ! I tell you...shopping makes you THIRSTY....especially when you are 10 and 6 !!

....and, some of these....with plenty of ketchup.

"Their futures so bright, they had to wear shades !"

The CHEESE BURGERS here were fabulous...and so were the CHICKEN STRIPS.

BY THIS TIME....I am seeing SPOTS before my eyes....

NOOO....wait a minute.....these are the cutest new flip flops the girls located in a precious store geared JUST FOR KIDS......

(I even tried to SQUEEZE my foot into one of these cute things but..... *sigh

THIS is the way my bed looked when we left for the great shopping day....

all 3 girls AND myself slept here....well, 3 girls slept and a Memaw tossed a lot....:)

And, nobody has time to spare when they are planning an all-day outing so making a bed was the LAST thing on our minds....

By the time we got home....I was totally glad to see this unmade bed....

It just meant I didn't have to waste time pulling back my covers before I fell into it

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

WHAT A DAY....WHAT A BLESSING....WHAT A MEMORY !

love and blessings to my sweet blogger friends,
