Came across this...

I have been in the spare room/office trying to get crafty for Valentine's Day (no progress) and I found some old photos. This is Dana and I, her mom Sue took this and the back of the photo says Summer 78. We are dressed up to go shopping downtown at Mervyn's (which, ironically is still the only place to go shopping in Napa). We did this often, sometimes going so far as to wait at the bus stop. Sue got a big kick out of this, and she loved to ask us what we were planning on buying and how we'd get there, which is I'm sure what we were trying to figure out when this photo was being taken.

I made great progress today. I went inside a scrapbook store and fondled all the pretty things I don't know how to use. But I consider it a step toward actually starting to do it.

Also went to Old Navy which is having a big clearance sale and I got three pairs of pants for Marlo, slip-ons, 2 rolls of gift wrap, a pair of socks and a pair of boxers for $15.29. And if you think that can't be topped I went to Michael's and got Christmas garland for $2.99! And scads of ribbon for no more than 99 cents a roll! Their stuff is 90% off people, and I NEEDED EVERY LAST BIT OF IT.
