what a day!

Our day was busy, as well.  We were up and off, shortly after 9:00, to a pancake breakfast with Amber and Darren's dog club.  It was held in a local restaurant, before the usual opening time.  Fixed menu, three strips of bacon ( and very nice bacon it was) and three pancakes plus coffee or juice, for $10.00/person.

We had some grocery shopping planned, but stopped into the local large sized ladies' store, first, to look for a beach cover-up.  This is almost essential at a resort, and I have had trouble finding one.  Well, I had a coupon, so took advantage and picked up some summery tops, and a couple of light weight trousers, as well as the cover-up. There was a perfect pair of trousers, but not my size, but , we were told that they maybe had a pair that would fit out on Pembina.  So off we went.  Yes they fit.  David went to pay and not only were they on sale, there was a special of 50% off the sale price!

Then I remembered that there was a special quilt vendors market at the Holiday Inn on Pembina.  So we had to go there, of course. David had been having trouble finding something to wear as well, so he suggested going back to the Swimwear store At St. Vital Centre, as he remembered they had some nice men's shorts there. Since it was lunch time we stopped at the food court.  Packed, and we wandered around forever before finding a place to sit. Then off to the swimwear store, where he looked at the price tags and decided to check out the Bay. Sure enough he found some very nice clothes there at a very reasonable price.

By this time it's going on 4:00, we are both exhausted and I couldn't walk another step.  We had nothing out of the freezer for supper, and I was in no shape to tackle the grocery store.  So-o-o-o, off to the casino for supper and relaxation.  We arrived home about 9:45.

David has a hard time buying clothes.  I have learned to let him choose--there is no way I can select his clothing for him. So when he is in the mood to shop, I just get out of the way.  This trip wasn't really driven by the up coming trip, as we both needed to do a bit toward up-dating our wardrobes.  I had actually earmarked a bit of the money from my sale in December for clothing.

Now we are just sitting and decompressing, over a cup of tea before bed.  We are NOT going shopping tomorrow.
