Well, Dave and I just parted ways after about a 22 hour visit. What a wonderful time! He called me yesterday that he was about 4 hours out and would be at our truck stop between 3 and 4 so we planned for me to come meet him about 5 to take him to dinner. Of course, on the way to dinner we detoured into Michael's and both did a little damage...hehehe...
We didn't buy a whole lot, but one of my clients is going to a convention this week and wanted the big round buttons (like we used to see at election time) and of course she leaves tommorrow for convention and there was no time to order anything online since I still have to print what will go on them too.
We had dinner at Golden Corral and it was reaaally good. They even had filet minon (sp) on the buffet and it was very good! We sat and talked and sat and talked and talked some more until the restaurant was closed. The employees already had most of the food cleared away by the time we mosied out of there.
This morning when I picked Dave up, our focus was on checking out ARCHIVER'S in Orland Park. Last night I called my sister who is a regular over there and she and my niece met us...at the Joanne's next door. We said 10am at Archiver's and since we were early getting there, we ducked into Joanne's first. That was the first Joanne's that I had been in that had a scrapping section. The one here is an older one with basically fabric and fabric crafts in it. I will definately go back there!! Joanne's is on the end of the strip mall and Archiver's is a few stores in...can we say WOW!! I could have really done some wallet damage! But, I was good because I haven't done anything in awhile, so I need to take inventory...what I have, want and need... It was pretty cool seeing the variety of new stuff that is out there though!
We had an awesome time talking and chatting and just spending time together. Yes, there was some enabling and some comparing and some tales. Dave is always a joy to have around and I love it when he visits. Before we left the truck stop this morning, Dave gave me this heavenly scented jar candle...yumm! It will definately be allowed to "breathe" in my room. :-)
Yes, we have pictures... We both had our cameras and we took a couple of pictures to prove that Dave saw an Archivers. I told him that we'll have to go back again and see the other 1/2 of the store! (We didn't see everything because of time.) My pictures can be seen at
