We drove to Meridian and picked up our favorite Aunt!
My Aunt Wilma has always been my favorite Aunt but

hole left in me. She would not mind me telling you that she is
a very young 75 years old !

sick of the word " Shopping"! She had to hit Aunt Wilma's
Massage Chair!
After her massage, I let her sleep for thirty minutes, then we
hit the road for home!

do and I have to write up questions for some author interviews!

Great bargains, indeed. Tuesdays is one of my favorite 'catch-all' surprise store. I still misss it.
Interesting that the youngest member of the group needed the nap!
I know you will miss your daughter, but you can look around at all the great things you bought while shopping with her and that will make you smile.
Carol, You all really got some fabulous buys... I'm not much of a shopper (my hubby is glad about that)--but when I do shop, I need to get you to go with me!!!!!
Aunt Wilma looks incredible to be 75... Glad you all got to see her. I know you have enjoyed your daughter's visit. BUT---now YOU can get some REST... ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Well, you got some more great bargains, Carol. We don't have any of those stores around here, not even a TJ Maxx.
Your Aunt looks wonderful, but 75 is not that old! I used to think it was, but once I hit the 70 mark, I no longer think of it as old! But that massage chair sure looks inviting!
My best friend and I are going Flea Marketing today, and to lunch in a Mexican Restautant! Yummo! Have a great weekend. Rest up and enjoy all your new treasures!
Hugs,
Renie
I can tell you really enjoy shopping. Be careful you don't become a shopaholic.
Wow Carol - you really racked up. You stole some of that merchandise. (just kidding ya know) I love the pots you bought at Tuesday Morning. I love all the stores you visited. Haven't been to Hudsons in a long time. You have a beautiful daughter and a lovely Aunt. It is good that she has been able to help with the emptiness you felt after your mother passed away. Aunts are wonderful.
Sounds like a great time was had by all! Bet you need a vacation now.
What a lovely post!!!! Shopping with girlfriends is a joy. When those girlfriends are much loved members of your family - well, you just can't do any better than that. Aunt Wilman and "the girl" are both just beautiful.
And Bargains! Girl! You found terrific bargains! The woman who taught me all about bargains is my mom. We do our shopping thing on Friday afternoons, so I'll be picking her up in just a couple hours.
We don't have a Hudson's here, but we do have TJ Maxx and Tuesday Mornings and the most surprising Big Lots ever. Found a great set of Ralph Lauren bright red towels at that Big Lots a few months back. Man, I just love a bargain.
I feel like I've been shopping at Carol's Catalog! Love those bargains. I saw those cushions at Max...they're really pretty. Have fun playing with all your treasures!

Well now I am competely torn...do I garden this weekend or go to Tuesday Morning's, TJ Max, and Hudsons??? What is a gal to do? I got REALLY excited when I saw Melanie in that massage chair...I was waiting for it to say 'Massage chair from Hudson's for $29.99 regularly $2,599.00 from Sharper Image'...LOL!!! You found some really good stuff!
What fabullus bargains! I'm jealous. I want a Tuesday Morning store to open near me.
Aunt Wilma looks wonderful and sweet. Glad she was able to go along with you and "the girl."
Happy catch-up!
You would LOVE shopping with one of my sisters-in-law!!
I am SO envious. I want to go shopping with you! It's so much fun to find great bargains!
Whew! I got tired JUST looking at all you bought...lol
But I must say, you are some shopper!
And your aunt looks fantastic for 75! I wanna be like her when I grow up!
