Fun Saturday

This Past Saturday my daughter and I had a fun day
we went shopping at the outlets with my two older nieces
and one of their daughters. the photos above are just some
of the shops we stopped and shopped in .

first off Pac-Sun where some shopping was done
then we realized it was lunch time so we went to
Mimi's cafe where we all enjoyed a wonderful pumpkin muffin
with our meal.

then we headed for Old Navy where we all came
out with a big bag and then to fossil where we admired many things
including a beautiful brown handbag ( and for those who know me it was
not me who fell in love with this certain handbag. although I saw one
that caught my eye as well but I did not buy it as of yet!!!! yes, I am a
handbag Junkie!!!!) I came out with a little coin purse.

then to J. Jill where my nieces found the bargains they were hoping to find.
then one of my nieces headed home and the four remaining
went to Bath & Body where I splurged a bit and then my gal
found the bargain she was hoping for at Charlotte Russe
then a quick pick me up at Starbuck's and back home we went
we had such a wonderful time and we are hoping to do it again
sometime soon.

Shopping can be so much fun when you have great company to
do it with.

What Lies

you only live once

I love this quote and just wanted to share!

self thought

when I look in the mirror I find that
Sometimes I am always doing a reality check
on how I see myself. then I stop and read this quote

psalters

My son loves the study of different cultures
and inherited a love for antiques and old instruments.

we came across a psalter similar to one my husband and
I purchased just recently. my son loves music and he
is the type that can teach himself to play.

the psalter is a very old Celtic type instrument
though it is played with a bow one side sounds like a
piano the other like a harp. it plays beautiful music
the one we purchased is hand made in a small town in
Or. in many ways it is some- what similar to a dulcimer
like they used to play in the old country ( that will be
another instrument my son is wanting to learn how to play)
and I am sure once he masters this he will work on getting
a dulcimer to add to his collection.

I am glad for the love of his music.

water

And Jesus said "come to the water and stand by my side


" I know you are thirsty you won't be denied"
