Shopping

Meg and I spent the day back to school shopping.  We started at the UP mall visiting Barnes & Noble, JC Penney, Box Lunch and Yankee Candle.  From there we we went to Marshall's, Target, TJ Maxx, Shoe Carnival and Kohl's.  We didn't buy as much as in years past, but we got a few items that we really needed and a couple just for fun.  My favorite purchase of the day was a set of Disney Villain glasses.  Meg was thrilled with the set that she bought - Charlie Brown Halloween.  I also found a white jean jacket and Teva sandals, while Meg bought a new pair of jeans, boots, a Peanuts blanket and a book that she had been wanting to read.  

We did take a break from shopping to eat lunch at McAllister's.  The food was very good, but the best part was the company.  I enjoyed listening about Meg's summer.  On the way home Meg and I decided that we would keep our annual shopping trip alive next year even after we moved.  As much as we liked shopping in South Bend, we knew that it would be even better at the Paddock Mall in Ocala.
