Just sharing an older story in my port that takes place during World War II. I gave it a bit of a facelift. In honor of Memorial Day:

Went shopping at the Camarillo Outlet Mall today with the boys. Lots of BIG savings! We got lots of goodies! Polo shirts, Oakleys, pants, and shoes. It was a good haul!

That's always a good day!

Another holiday to add to the shopping list, Miss Steph? Well, bargains are bargains, and these days one can't afford to miss a bargain. Good for you.
I've added a new entry to my book, "Gemini Rising" Open in new Window.:

Do you drink bottled water? If so what kind? I drink Crystal Geyser
  •   8 comments
Yes, every day. I like Aquafina and Kirkland, but we switch around at times.
We have really good tasting well water at home so I only drink bottled water when I'm away from home for more than a day. Otherwise I always carry my own water with me.
Thanks for leaving a comment about your water everyone. Totally understand "hard" water and limescale. And yes, I've heard that people can die from drinking too much water. I'm sure I could find some articles if I poked around a bit. I remember growing NH, my parents would stop by a fresh spring on the way to Hinsdale and bottle it. Until I lived in California, I didn't appreciate fresh bottle spring water.
Sushi for dinner

Spiritual Dawning, First Light Author Icon - We had a small terrier mix named Suzy which, after a couple of adult beverages, could sound like Sushi. *BigSmile*
Soldier_Mike Author Icon - My aunt had a dog called "Zukie" ...ate everything it weren't supposed to. I have never actually tried Sushi.
Spiritual Dawning, First Light Author Icon - Suzy was similarly inclined. Our youngest once left her hamburger unattended. Suzy snagged the meat right out from between the hamburger buns.
Here's my gratuitous newsfeed check-in. Working overtime at work. Need the cash. Made Hamburgers today before work. It was quick and easy. What's your quick and easy meal?

Just doing another drive by to get the credit for the Newsfeed MB. Sigh... All I want is a ME day with a Spa. I still have to go through the month of June to get to July which is my VACATION month. *Smile* That spa better look. I'm getting nails, toes and a swedish rub down!
