Day 26, Jan 26, 2010: A Day to Shop.....again!

Ahhhh, a great night's sleep, no toothache to keep me awake with pain, and then another beautiful morning. Since I was not having any trouble today, I took a couple of Advil, and then after our breakfast and coffee/tea......we took care of a few necessary things around TheHowserHouse.

Around 11:30 we took to the road and about 10 minutes later we arrived at the Rio Grande Outlet Mall just east of Mercedes. And......the remainder of the afternoon until a bit after 5pm, we shopped for the 1st Lady's accessories for the wedding. During that process I found a few bargains myself......and so we werre both carrying around bags and packages most of the afternoon. This is a really great outlet mall.....lots of great shops to visit with a great deal of variety. There is also a Starbucks there.......GREAT!!!!

We then made our weekly visit to Walmart....and, as always, we spent over an hour there.....UGH!!!! There are always soooooo many people from the RGV there.....and, for that matter, in ALL of the many Walmarts in the RGV!!!!! But.....other options are sooooo limited that it is no wonder you have to stand in line for ages to check out at them......even with lots of checkers as the registers.

Returning back to the resort, we had barely arrived in the drive when Diane came hopping over.....and before we knew it, we were in their motorhome having a glass of wine and each of us discussing our day's adventures. We also got to meet their daughter-in-law and two of their grandchildren via the great program of Skype! Their 6 year old grandson, Cole, called them on the internet program....and so we enjoyed getting to know the three of them through cyberspace between here and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

And soooo, with no present toothaches....I still plan to get an exam in the next couple of days....hopefully. We are going to Progreso, Mexico, in the morning for haircuts, some shopping, and to check out one of the dentists that has been HIGHLY recommended to me. We'll see........

Soooo, as always.......

LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
