Red

Today's challenge at HS: MS is a color challenge:  RED--my favorite color. And here are my cute, new, shiny red shoes that I bought last weekend when I was shopping with Sarah. I might have passed them up, but Sarah quickly listed a variety of outfits I could wear them with. So glad she did. I love these shoes. They're comfy, too!

Closed on Sunday

When I was growing up in rural Ohio, Blue Laws were a fact of life. No stores were open on Sunday, and I remember being somewhat shocked when things changed. (Can't remember when that was, however.) But now Sunday is just another day when I can run errands, go to the mall, whatever. Very few stores are closed--in our area, Aldi's is the only one that comes to mind. So when Tracy suggested that Sarah and I could meet Sunday at the Paramus, NJ mall to have lunch and shop, it never crossed my mind that the stores might be closed. But closed they were, and was I ever shocked! I hadn't expected to see Sarah until Thanksgiving, and I was so looking forward to this unexpected treat. Thank goodness for cell phones!! Sarah was just on her way from Princeton and was able to tell me how to get to the Menlo Park mall. We had a great lunch at The Cheesecake Factory, and a very successful afternoon of shopping. Best of all, I got to spend some time with Sarah.

Autumn

Today's prompt from HS:  MS is perfect.

The third season of the year. Show us 'Autumn' in your space today.
