Thursday I stopped my work-out routine to go shopping with a couple of friends at the mall in Mt. Juliette. Unfortunately, our favorite clothing store is no longer there, but Joann's is and I could not pass up an opportunity to add to my stash. I picked up this brightly printed floral fabric and some color coordinated fat quarters and plan to make either a small quilt or some tablerunners using some combination of hourglass, four-patch or half-square-triangle blocks. I'll post pictures of what I decide when I get them done.
And, of course, after a couple hours of hard work shopping we just had to get something to eat at Panera Bread! I had a chicken fromage on foccia with a cup of black bean soup YUM! and opted for the healthier apple instead of chips... sorry.. no food pictures... I forgot my camera!
Re-energized by our lunch we hit Books-a-Million, TJMax and Dress Barn. Lots of fun browsing and few small purchases.
After a long day of shopping and driving we came home to the guys cooking dinner for us! Salad, grilled salmon, steamed sweet potatoe slices, corn on the cob and a chocolate glazed cake for desert! They even did all the clean up and washed the dishes!
We had beautiful weather .... and a great day to take a break from our regular routine.
