Never Done That Before!

 Went shopping with a friend.

Seems weird to say that I haven't done that, but I haven't that I can recall.  I mean, I shopped for girls camp to buy the food once with Linda Gianchetta and one with Linda Marten and for church things with other women, all of which i hated..  And, with my daughters - rarely.  And, with Janessa for a wedding dress.

Here's how it all played out.....

A couple of weeks ago, I was with Bonnie Rawson and she told me she would really like some new tops.  She has a friend who takes her shopping, but her friend stays a VERY LONG time and Bonnie, who uses a walker, can't stay that long; she gets exhausted and needs to sit down (even tho she does sit down on her walker!)

So, I told her I was the PERFECT shopping companion.  Because I HATE shopping.  I don't like looking everything over, row after row.  I like shopping online.  That has saved me over the last few years.  I would not be wandering around looking for something for ME!  I would just follow her around and she could take as little or as long as she liked!

So, she agreed and this morning, we headed for Dillard's.  It was great fun.  She has a specific style that she likes and she looked over the entire women's section for that style - 3/4 sleeve, rounded or vee neck, printed fabric.

She picked out about 7 or 8 tops and asked me to come in to help her manage the situation in the dressing room, which I did.

She ended up buying 4 lovely tops - for her - not my style - and I bought a jacket, which I might return.

Then we went to lunch, which I paid for as tomorrow is her birthday.  It was all quite lovely.  But I don't want to make a habit of doing this every Saturday!  HAHAHHAHAH

Maybe we'll do it again in six months or so!
