My sister came to visit on Thurs & Fri. It was so great to have her here! She only lives about 3 1/2 hours away but doesn't get away too often because she's a breeder and has to be available for those doggies who need extra attention. You know, bottle feeding those who aren't eating properly... helping the females who're having trouble giving birth, etc. It's a round-the-clock job she has. And a real break when she can come home to visit. :-)
We did some heavy duty shopping, but put most of it back, lol. We brought home only the best of the bargains. There was a brief moment when I stunned myself by not fitting into the Capri's that should have been my size. Hmmm... note to myself that perhaps I need to exercise some discipline in the food department. Or just exercise, period. :-)

It always brings back warm memories when dh and I pop into Steak n Shake for a quick bite (tonight's dinner). You see, for years we had only two other food choices near our home. Then came Steak n Shake! We ate there so often we knew the servers and managers by name, lol. Eventually, common sense (cents) prevailed before we totally blew the budget, and we weaned ourselves off the steakburgers. :-)
We go there about twice a year now. The servers' faces are all new to us, but the friendly, bustling atmosphere is still the same. I even took my journal in and did some writing.
Just like old times.
