I've been sitting here reading through an old journal I found....2005-06. Goodness, I need to get back to journaling more/better. It really is so cool to sit down & read back through old journals. So, I'm starting right now with a recap of my day yesterday.

Fridays are still grocery/errand days.......the girls went with me & we headed out about 9:30am. First stop, the bank...to deposit Jon & Ashley's money into our account so we could buy Winterfest tickets online........Sam's to put in our picture order...we always run in there first...put in our order & then go do our running around, come back & actually do our shopping at Sam's last before heading back to Walmart so the food stuff doesn't sit around in the van all day long, plus this way our pictures are always ready for us when we come back. Not to mention our good friends over in the photo dept that know us by name now & let us check out over there when we pick up our pics so we don't have to stand in the LONG lines up front. ;-).....met Ella & kids at CFA for lunch.....Old Navy to return Ashely's jeans.....got Ashley's bangs trimmed.....AC Moore, where Ashley needed a couple pieces of paper to finish the LO she's working on & I picked up a cute little fall dish towel & some yarn to make a dish cloth for a treat for my secret prayer partner at church.....Target.....then back to Sams & on to Walmart for groceries. Ran into the Dollar store to pick up some candy & a couple of flashlights to take to church for our Fall Family Fun night coming up.....After WM, we hit Food Lion for the boys' little pizzas they like (which they don't carry at WM anymore)....go figure........Clay, Jon & Michael had gone out & about to do some guy stuff......shopping for hunting supplies & stuff for Michael's cross-bow.....so they ate while they were out. Michael twisted Clay's arm & got him to take them to Golden Corral, so they had a fun time together. Chris had stayed here to catch up on some reading he had to do for his Theology class.....so us four enjoyed a quiet evening of snacky-type supper foods while watching 'I Love Lucy'. Then later, after Clay, Michael & Alli went up to bed.....the rest of us fixed big, soft pretzels & had coffee with peppermint mocha creamer & watched an episode of NCIS. Then while they watched a second episode, I went upstairs to read....trying to finish up 'The Missing' by Beverly Lewis so then I can concentrate on 'Return' by Karen Kingsbury.
