Girls Day Out

The men were working all day today, so Melanie and I decided to make it a girls day out. Spending the entire day shopping in Ft Worth, well of course we had brunch before hitting the stores at La Madelines. We sat in by the window and watched the shoppers going by.
It was chilly enough that the hot coffee really hit the spot.
By 3:30 we were both tired and glad to be heading back into the quiet of country living.
Melanie found a few things she was hoping to find and I got a couple more Christmas presents purchased.
Emery and I spend just about $25 on each person in the family. Never going crazy at Christmas, just giving a gift that means something. The idea behind Christmas gift giving was probably not meant to put people in debt or decide to buy gifts instead of paying a bill.
I saw a lady with a tee shirt on the other day that said, " On Dasher and Dancer, on Master and Visa"
I laughed when I saw it, then decided it really is a sad commentary on peoples spending habits.
