A good day for an Adventure

Lots of fun today, Susan and I ventured out for the first time together since we closed the shop. We were both going through a little withdrawal and I have not been able to drive my car all month cause hubby likes that job so I really felt liberated!! We decided to eat lunch HERE, what a fun place. It was like going back in time to an old soda fountain diner, the parking was a little tricky but well worth the trip and while we were on 38th we decided to visit Sweet Charity. I had never been to this gift shop sponsored by Seton Hospital but Susan had told me about it and what cute unusual things that had and she was right! They had alot of the things that we saw and recognized but also lots of different things too....I really
liked the children's area....Mike had been looking for
a set of marbles and they had one with a cute draw
string bag to hold them and I got an Old Maid card
game for the kids to play!! I used to love to play this
when I was little, hope they do too. Next we went
to Tipler Antique Lamp Shop. Mike told me about this several months ago...Oh my they have some wonderful lights and lamps, and they will custom make lamps for you too! I am still looking for
what I want to put in our bedroom and I think now I
will be able to find or design the perfect one, I will keep you posted, but if you are interested you can
find them HERE another great locally owned small
business that appreciates our support and such nice helpful people to boot!

It was fun Peyton played with her marbles most of the day today, actually playing the game for a bit but then playing and sorting them into an old muffin tin...no time for Old Maid today, maybe next week!
