Ok....today was a typical, spring time day in the state of Alabama...we've had a string of hot days...then a few cooler days...all with bright sunshine, until today! Today we had rain....buckets of rain!! and then we had tornado warnings and endured the weathermen for hours doing their job and trying to inform all of us ignorant Alabamians!
As I watched the shops close down on our street...I couldn't really decide what we should do! Of course...no one was shopping so that made the decision a wee bit easier! We closed! We ran screaming out of there....all for the sake of safety mind you!!!!
I watched as Pattie drove off to do her grocery shopping before the "storms" hit....and I thought...."what do I do with myself?" You see...Miller was at a friend's house and I had 2 hours to kill before a spa appointment!!! ( but we were closing because of a storm!) then I remembered way back in the recesses of my brain when I used to have free time!!! It was a glorious revelation!!! I used to shop!!!! So I quickly drove myself to the Summit mind you!!! Me...the one who is terrified of bad weather was willing to risk it just to know the freedom of being able to shop again!!! I haven't had free time to shop since the year 2000!!! and I'm NOT exaggerating!!!
It was wonderful! In fact...it was glorious!!! I even ran into Sharon and Ginny who had been there since 11:30! Ginny looked ready to go but Sharon was loving it!!! I had fun....tried to find an Easter dress but ended up with a wonderful pair of shoes and 2 beach coverups!!!! Now THATS the way to weather a storm!!!!
