Shopping? Oh yes.

Yesterday Don and I took a trip to Erie to do some Christmas shopping. It's an hour and a half ride there but it's the closest place to go to the big stores.  Our little town has a Walmart, some dollar stores and a few small businesses. I shop online but I like to see what's out there and actually touch the things I'm buying. First we had lunch at the Olive Garden where unexpectedly I ran into the sister of a friend of mine. After a delicious lunch of angel hair pasta with Parmesan pesto sauce and a meatball I was set for shopping. My husband who abhors going into any store was dropped off at the casino where he spent three happy hours while I breezed from store to store crossing off my list. This year helped by a list from my family seemed easier than those in the past. With my limited time I managed to get almost everything done.  On Thursday I will be traveling...again. I am going to Fredericksburg Virginia to meet my sister Linda then on Saturday we will meet my sister Diane in Staunton Virginia where we will go on a candlelight house tour. We always get together in December.  It is a lot of traveling for me but I so love it when we are together and we have the best time.
