" I Survived Another Day" Bargains Galore!

As you can see......I survived another day of bargain hunting
with " the girl "......
We drove to Meridian and picked up our favorite Aunt!
My Aunt Wilma has always been my favorite Aunt but
since my mother's death she has also helped to fill the huge
hole left in me. She would not mind me telling you that she is
a very young 75 years old !

I cannot tell you how tired I was......even baby girl is now
sick of the word " Shopping"! She had to hit Aunt Wilma's

After her massage, I let her sleep for thirty minutes, then we
hit the road for home!



She's going home tomorrow......I will miss her :( but for goodness
sakes, I need some much deserved rest! I have book reviews to
do and I have to write up questions for some author interviews!
We still have to visit 6 houses in Natchez!

Oh No! Not Again!

Actress Sela Ward is from Meridian, Mississippi. It is 90
miles east of here. My Aunt Wilma lives in Meridian. So
today Melanie(baby girl) and I are going to visit her and
the three of us are going, oh no, shopping!!!




Sela Ward built a Children's Home in Meridian called
Hope Village. It is a shelter for abused children who have
been removed from their primary care taker's custody due to
abuse or neglect. She opened a thrift shop in 2000 that helps
support Hope Village. I have never been to it but my Aunt
frequents it and gets loads of bargains. The stuff has all been
donated and she says most of it is new or like new! So we are
going to check it out..................


I shouldn't tell it but most town's in Mississippi also have
one of these and the merchandise is always different!


OH NO ! NOT AGAIN ! I nor my bank account are going
to survive this visit by "the girl"! I'll do a report if your not
already sick of shopping like me!!!
