Well, I was going to go on Thursday, but instead spent part of the day with DS and then took the girls to LAX.
So, bright and early Friday, I hooked up with Jenn and Mary (friends from the New England group) and gave them the cupcakes for Margaret's surprise party that night. Re-hooked up with Margaret and Cynthia Ward (she sometimes hangs out here) Then we shopped the mall until we dropped, went for lunch/breakfast at Great Harvest Bread Company (one of my favorite places for sandwiches and baked goodies).
Shopped some more and saw Bobbie V who was having major family time with her DIL and two of the grandbabies. And for the small, small world part of the day, Cynthia was talking to a woman and girl, both of whom looked sort of familiar. Turns out the girl is an acquaintance of DD and they live just around the corner from us. Both Mom and G are stitchers and we later spent some time stitching together.
Didn't do tons of damage at the mall, but did break my "no new floss that isn't to be kitted into a project NOW" rule and came home with several grab bags of Gloriana floss and ribbon. I bought a chart from RoseWood Manor
and spent way too much money at
