Gerbie-I am from Texas and I miss it so much!!! My husband does that too. He will take a stack of magazines and read in the car while I go to the LQS or JoAnns. He never complains and tells me to take my time and if I come out and he is gone, he's in the drug store! I went to 2 different fabric stores this past week and spent a small fortune and he didn't bat an eye. Of course, he had just bought a new JigSaw from Home Depot! LOL
