I went out to get some prescriptions filled and also stopped by the local Wal-Mart. The place was as packed as it was before Christmas.
At first I had no idea why. When I got inside I saw that most of them had valentine merchandise. I don’t recall it being that big a deal in years past.
Good evening Pro ((HUGS))
I’m sorry I missed you earlier but was dealing with snow and keeping the fire going.
We just finished our second round of snow. This time about 4 inches.
Almost everything was closed today, so I was home all day. Will be home tomorrow too.
Hope all is well on your side of the country.
