When we were first married, we lived in Pontiac, Mi. My childrendon't believe my stories of gas wars when gas got down to 25 cents a gallon. Ah, the good old days.

So true! I live so far in the country, trying to only go to town when I work anymore!

:? :? :?

You are so funny. Don't shop at Walmart. Everytime I do I come out mad and frustrated. The last time I was there was maybe 2 years ago. I had to scan all my own items, there wasn't a checker in sight. I don't mind doing a few things, but a whole cart, Thank you NO!

So the ears perk up when a neighbor or friend says they are going to Walmart..."Can I have a ride?". Give the driver a little something for the ride a-long. Better yet, carpool with friends.

Walking might be good for the soul, but it would be a 10 mile round trip walk for me!!

There were 2 free patterns . . . one quilt of the month
and one for spring with butterflys on it super cute!!
and the April QOM for a 92X92 pattern was under $30.00 for all material.
so yeah for all those getting fabrics back!!

"Petting fabric"...that's exactly what I do. I tell everyone is soothes my nerves. Of course I get those weird looks and people start "backing away". Who cares...I love fabric.

We'll all have to car pool and rent a trailer to pull behind. LOL

I ride my bike to Walmart when I can, so that's no problem for me. Ooops, forgot, I'm moving soon and I'll be farther from the Walmart with fabric (but it's still only 10 miles, no problem for me in the summer!)

Oh, I forgot, I walk in the winter time when I can't ride my bike. I just love walking during snowstorms!
