I was in Walmart on Saturday and noticed a couple of moms and daughters shopping for university. One pair was looking at the Corelle dishware, the other was looking at closet storage items. I saw other people looking at the floor length mirrors and desk lamps. The store was also crowded with the 'back to school' shoppers. It will only get busier for the next few weeks I think.
Earlier in the morning I had taken my mother to the lab to get some routine blood tests done. We were number 98 just after 10 am. We waited about 45 minutes but figured we'd rather get things done than wait until another day. I had taken K for a blood test in July and we didn't have to wait, so I guess it depends on the day and time, the ebbs and flows.
We met some friends for dinner at Moxie's Classic Grill. I had a nice seafood linguine because I had a pasta craving. The kids had a white chocolate brownie for dessert which we ended up sharing. It was a huge portion and sooo delicious as described on their menu:
'the ultimate dessert encounter, white and dark chocolate folded into a white chocolate brownie, finished with french vanilla ice cream, real whipped cream and warm chocolate sauce'
The brownie was warm, sweet and chewy and I'll get off the topic now!

ReplyDeleteMe, too! It does bring back a lot of fond memories. I remember shopping for university with my daughter. That was quite an adventure.
ReplyDeleteOh as I was reading about your Walmart shopping, it took me back to my own University shopping with my mother. I was SO excited! When my parents drove away after getting me settled in my dorm, I was SO homesick.
