Thanks LindaR! I will send you a PM...The Ben Franklin store sounds cool! We don't have anything like that here. I do remember Woolworths...in fact there was one in downtown Chattanooga when I lived there back in the mid 80's but it eventually closed down. They had the best lunches (the lunch counter area was equipt with a dumb waiter...gosh...remember those...?!), and such a wide assortment of treasures!
My pals package was delivered last Thursday. No word yet from my Pal, but I know that she is very busy the later part of the week with her grandchildren and she is also planning a wedding this spring so I am sure I will hear from her as soon as she finds a free moment.
We had a weather alert here last night, too... was expecting 3-5" of snow, though just got a dusting which is fine by me. It's in the 30's here going into the 40's mid week. Yes Brenda...your weather does sound crazy!
