Shopping Day

There were a couple items that Josie needed from a clothing store, so we took an early trip to the Tanger Outlet Mall in Glendale. That was following a brief visit to Cabela's across the street from the Mall. We haven't been to this mall since it opened last year and the crowd was certainly smaller than that experience - and also, parking was a snap. It is your typical outlet mall with most of the same stores that we see in all of the malls, with a few new ones thrown in. We walked around the entire mall and bought a few things, but not the items that Josie wanted to pick up while there. We will have to go somewhere else to find those.

We left the mall at around noon and went to Costco to check for items that Josie thought might be there. They were not. We then proceeded to go to Albertson's on the way home and we stopped for a TCBY that is located a few doors down from Albertson's. The day kind of got away from us as we didn't return home until 2 PM, and I defrosted the freezer while Josie did laundry.

We have enjoyed the company of a very nice couple that had been staying on the space next to ours. Kari and Darryl McGrath are from Colorado and were here to work on Kari's project to do interior design on a home for some folks she worked with in Colorado. They left last night to return to Colorado and we hope to run into them again some time down the road.

Josie is enjoying her first days off in a month. We aren't sure at this point what her schedule will be in April, but we do know that the first week in May she will be working some long hours. Last year at this time, you may recall that we were preparing for our trip to WA prior to heading to Jackson. We just hope that the real heat holds off until we leave around the 13th of May...
