OMG! I love that and printed it off to make a pillow or wall hanging or something the first time I saw it several years ago. And no, I have not done that yet, but I would like to one day.

She took the long way...Penney’s, Sears, Macy’s, her money and credit card probably ran out~~LOL~~
To be serious on the subject though, if I have some “one thing” that I am shopping for, I like to go by myself right to the place I think I will find it....try on and on and on...buy it if something pleases me very much and go home.
When my granddaughter was getting married Dec. 1, I needed a dressy dress, not formal, but I was bound to find one that I could wear more than to the wedding. I will admit I made 3 trips to the Mall and finally found the right dress. I had looked at it before but just couldn’t decide! I’m glad I don’t have to do that much!
I’m not your typical female. I absolutely hate to shop. I will run down to the Goodwill once in awhile and find a suitable new dress and pay $3 for it. I haven’t bought a “new” dress in years. Hate the current fashions. Am I turning into an old curmugeon?
I don’t like to shop when I have to find a certain thing. I like to meander around places looking and thats when I might find something I like! And sometimes I don’t like anything!
I can’t imagine getting a dress for $3.00. Of course, at Goodwill you could. I take all my old stuff to Goodwill. I have one not far from me and they are always glad to get it. I need to do some of that now.
I don’t buy a lot of dresses. Its mostly dress slacks, blazers, etc. I wear those to church. Do you all wear pants to church too. I like skirts also and they will go with the blazers too.
Good to hear from you, Nan! I know you all must have had a ball when Lori and her husband visited. I thought that was so wonderful!
But, except for dinner, I am through for the day. Thank you, everyone, for your contributions to the thread. Amy is going to fire me for being such a lousy hostess. :-(
Well, I don't know about her, but we sure had a ball! I didn't break anything this time, thank goodness! LOL.
Seriously, Nan is a great tour guide and has such a lovely home, oh....and she also is married to a fabulous cook. Mr. WVNan fixed up some wonderful WV treats for us. And Nan made the best Banana Split pie!! I've got to get that recipe. We ate really good while we were there. :-)
Just for fun, check out my Financial Awareness Day funnies!

LOL!! Great finds, jaycee. Thanks for directing me to them. I probably wouldn’t have seen them otherwise.
A lot of the women in my church wear slacks to church. On Wed. night I wear jeans myself. On Sunday I wear a dress. Some of them I bought years ago and they were very expensive, so I still wear them. Mostly though, I find some nice dresses at the Goodwill store from time to time. That way I can take them back and look for different ones. I know my labels and I find some “treasures” at times. That makes shopping at Goodwill fun. Sort of like looking for gold. Ever so often you will find a nugget. LOL.
Very true that we often share things here that even our best friends don't know.
I have saved it!
It’s about time you got home. We missed you. I’ve done not much today. Cooked some green beans and made a Banana Split Pie. Ha. Mr. WV fixed the rest of supper.

Glad you had a day to yourself. Everyone needs that every so often.
One prepared Graham Cracker Crust.
line crust with sliced banana (1 for small crust 2 for large crust)
prepare Jello Instant Pudding mix (using pie directions)
Pour over banana when it starts to set.
spread 4 oz crushed pineapple over pudding
cover with generous helping of Cool Whip and garnish with chopped nuts or cherries (optional)
Refrigerate for 1 hr. Enjoy
Did the pictures make it to your e-mail? I sent the ones I made while you were here.

If the church wants a

God Himself does not propose

A lot of church members who

The best mathematical equation I have ever seen:
1 cross + 3 nails= 4 given.
Oh, I forgot. Drain the pineapple. Just use enough to cover over the pudding. The amount of everything depends on the size of the crust. For a larger pie use large box of pudding mix, 2 bananas and enough drained crushed pineapple to cover. It’s so easy, you can play around with it.
Another “KEEPER”, that is great!
