Thursday with My New Pal Justine

Well I knew when Carolyn's friend Justine moved to Quincy it would be a big gain for me. We have done a few things together, and along with Mario and her husband Tim, we have taken in a QND basketball evening, Mexican chow, and of course the karioke party. Today we had lunch at Panera and went thrift shop shopping. We stopped first at Designer's Again where we both found markdowned markdowns that fit and were just the right size and color. Then we went down to 4th and York and found jackets for a buck and a quarter. I think Justine's was two bucks. Perfect fit, great color. Like new. Fun! Then she tried on a skirt that had the cutest back side to it. I don't know if she wants anybody looking at her backside, but they will when she wears her boots and this skirt! So cute. Very cheap. We just couldn't believe our lucky day. (Sometimes it doesn't take much to give me a thrill!)

Heading to the couch for Grey's and The Practice. Will catch a little news in between. It was a big day in the Land of Lincoln. Cora was on television reading The Gettysburg Address; I think that was some kind of school-wide activity. She was wearing her cute loop earrings and looked very focused. I will have to ask her about it. I memorized it in school somewhere along the way and was surprised that I could recall most of it when I tried to recite it to myself. Like the intro to the Constitution. I made all my social studies students learn it, and I will never forget that one.
