October 7, 2010 – a girls dream (Shopping!!)

// October 7, 2010 – a girls dream (Shopping!!) – Rolling Shoe Box | Rolling Shoe Box //

Today we got our mail and sent out some mail, bought the girls more laundry, got some locks for the hitches on the RV, locks for bikes (Set the old ones up wrong, and drug them across pa.), and went out for supper at Millers Smorgasbord. Supper was what I looked forward to the most, but the price was well “remarkably high”, but the food was only good. We saw some ultra contemporary quilts made by the Amish, though really awesome in their design, they were ultra modern and not really what most quilt lovers would think of. Well to say the least, the day was pleasant, if not tiring, but we got a lot done. Not much else to say but..
