When we were first married, we lived in Pontiac, Mi. My childrendon't believe my stories of gas wars when gas got down to 25 cents a gallon. Ah, the good old days.

You are so funny. Don't shop at Walmart. Everytime I do I come out mad and frustrated. The last time I was there was maybe 2 years ago. I had to scan all my own items, there wasn't a checker in sight. I don't mind doing a few things, but a whole cart, Thank you NO!

So the ears perk up when a neighbor or friend says they are going to Walmart..."Can I have a ride?". Give the driver a little something for the ride a-long. Better yet, carpool with friends.

Walking might be good for the soul, but it would be a 10 mile round trip walk for me!!

There were 2 free patterns . . . one quilt of the month
and one for spring with butterflys on it super cute!!
and the April QOM for a 92X92 pattern was under $30.00 for all material.
so yeah for all those getting fabrics back!!

"Petting fabric"...that's exactly what I do. I tell everyone is soothes my nerves. Of course I get those weird looks and people start "backing away". Who cares...I love fabric.

I ride my bike to Walmart when I can, so that's no problem for me. Ooops, forgot, I'm moving soon and I'll be farther from the Walmart with fabric (but it's still only 10 miles, no problem for me in the summer!)
