Actually, we decided it might be better if he did not buy me a dollie at Marshall Fields...I started thinking about it, and thought, that since I have so many dolls, the hubby might accidentally buy me a dolly that I already have...and then, even if he got me a doll which I did not already have, I was really concerned about him getting it safely home...what with all the beefed up security at the airports and on the airplanes, he would probably have to check the dolly in with his luggage...

And I have seen some of those baggage handlers, and the rough way they sometimes handle the luggage...

So we decided that it would not probably be the best idea for the hubby to buy me dollys...

Thats why he gave me an extra large bankroll to play with back here...he will be in for a shock, when I tell him I spent almost all of it

But he will be glad that I had a good time shopping while he was gone...and I know he will return with some of his own bankroll...he always takes way more than he needs, just in case of emergencies, or should he need extra money for anything...

I am sure he will share his bankroll with me, when he returns...

Well, I should go to the store, before it gets too busy...see ya later...

more sensible plan
it's not so easy for him to choose 'xactly which dollie you want
easier for him to hand over his bankroll to you when he gets home
and let you pick out your own dollie gifts from ebay

Well, nuts...I scanned the TV viewing for today, and found the Nero Wolfe was coming on, and I love Nero Wolfe...its on for two hours, and then on comes Murder She Wrote, three different programs...

Now, I dont watch a heck of a lot of television, but I do have my favorite programs...and Murder She Wrote, and Nero Wolfe are two of those programs, so a visit to the grocery store seems unimportant...I went into my arsenal of Dizzys special bag, and was able to find one last bag of kitty treats...then pulled a steak from the freezer, made a salad to go with it, and put a bottle of wine in the fridge, so I am covered for this evenings meal...I will have to set my alarm for early tomorrow, and get to the store in the early morning hours, before too many other shoppers appear...

I enjoy watching Murder She Wrote, even tho they are all reruns...I enjoy Angela Lansbury, and the odd cast of characters...what I especially enjoy about Murder She Wrote, is the scenery, when she is home in Cabot Cove...now on the series, she is supposed to be living in a small ocean front town in New England, named Cabot Cove...But in reality the show is really filmed in Mendocino California, up on the northern end of California...

That area is so familiar to me, as my mom lived near there, and we always went to Mendocino for shopping in the tourist traps, dinner, great seafood, and camping in the nearby Redwood groves...so seeing the town and the nearby scenery, is like old home week for me...

And a local carpenter, who has helped build many of the sets for Murder She Wrote, built a lattice work area for my aunts porch, and he also built a special ramp for my moms house, when mom and dad had trouble walking up the steps...

So I will get to the durned grocery store tomorrow...

Is there an Al Capone dollie, complete with Thompson machine gun and fedora hat?
