Friends!!!

Saturday I went to a really fun 21st, 50s themed, birthday party.  My bosses daughter, Liz, has so kindly included me in her group of girlfriends, thank you!!!  I just got back from dinner with them tonight as well, they are a great group of ladies and know all the local hot spots.  Besides the much needed social activity, I also found a secret sale this weekend!  I was looking for a mid-length black coat, for all that damn wind, at the big Australian department store Myer's.  I had narrowed it down to two coats... debated with myself for a good 20 minutes, made my choice and feeling pretty good about the $100 marked down from $180 purchase.... then the cashier says, $10.  I was on cloud nine as he explain that today only, not advertised, any Miss Shop or Tokito previously marked down items were $10!!!  So, of course, like any good shopper I continued to look at ever other item included in the sale and made four other smart choices.  I ended up with two jackets, two dresses, and a sweater for half the price I was originally prepared to spend.   What a sweet weekend.

I guess you had a sweet weekend! I did, too. I hung out with Heidi, eating Cuban food in Nebraska... no shortage of irony here. We also had to buy swimsuits and you know how short my legs are comparatively...

A wind storm hit here Friday night 150 mph winds tore out trees all over. We were without power for two full days, but had plumbing and the sun shines till after 8:00 so not so bad.

More travel tomorrow! Gotta get a job at a travel agency...
Love you,
Mom
