Grandma Henke

 I used to love what Mom called “window shopping” when I was a little girl and pretty much carried the love of “shopping” into my adult life.  (Just ask the man.)     Window shopping now days has a whole new meaning.  You go shopping through the window of your computer and can shop from all over the world without even breaking a sweat.

Yesterday I started looking online for a long summer skirt … found one that is perfect at this site.    Won’t that be a fun one to stroll around the fun little beach communities when we stay here for the month of July (which was a site we found and reserved online).    Unfortunately my first pick of a nice straw hat to block the sun was way too expensive!    BUT then I remembered … I have two perfectly good travel summer hats sitting in my closet waiting for summer.     I suppose I will have to ….

…. Look at sandals!     There are some pretty fancy summer sandals but most of them are ones I couldn’t possibly wear.   I would love to be a trendy Grandma with cute little fancy shoes … but let’s be practical … I’m a klutz that has to wear a sturdy, solid shoe.   I was sooo disappointed when I found this sandal.   I like those kind, and particularly in red … and they were sold out.   But THEN I remembered I can never buy shoes online because if my twisted toes. 

So I looked for cute summer bags … But THEN I remembered I found the perfect one two weeks ago at Christensen’s here in town … Not only was it the perfect bag, it was THE perfect price at 75% plus 25% off.   I gave it to Lynn to hold while I ran to the bathroom and wouldn’t you know HE decided I had enough bags and put it back?   Men!   I have to admit it is a lot more fun to shop for certain things when they aren’t around!

I did find a couple of real cute T-shirts to wear with my skirt (I’m talking like it’s a done deal, aren’t I?).      This one, and this one.   One is coral and the other one is white.   I like T-shirts to come below my elbows … I would even be happier if they were long sleeve.  

Well, it’s time to call it a shopping day.   Lynn might think this is extravagant but think of it this way, dear … I didn’t eat out or spend money on gas!
