Whoever invented the GPS should be canonized as a saint. It's like the cell phone - what the heck did we do before we had those. I have had a GPS for 4 years, but truth be known, this is the first time I really had to use it as I always know where I'm going..... well you know what I mean...
We named our GPS Lulu - well she talks to us - so we thought it would be good manners to talk back to her at times and for that she needed a name. Most of the time we praise Lulu for getting us places where otherwise it would take a lot of figurin' to get to... but sometimes her instructions are not quite clear enough. Tonight for instance, we were in a complicated exit and SHE WASN'T CLEAR ENOUGH so I took the wrong turn.... I had to drive 10 miles, pay $1.00 at a toll booth, turn around on the other side of the tool booth and pay another $1.00 to get on the other side of the highway and then drive 10 miles back to our hotel. I gave Lulu a few pieces of my mind.
Back to the shopping: Carolyn wants to sell the house and move into the Kohl's Department Store.. We spent the morning at Kohl's - Oh my - we bought 21 items including 5 pairs of shoes (including converse, airsoles, nike) a few tops for me, many tops for carolyn, 4-5 pairs of shorts, 2 dresses, etc, etc for 250.00 - the store had 30 to 60% almost everything and I had a coupon for 20% off above that. WILD!
Then this afternoon we left for Freeport with Lulu leading the way. Freeport is a fun spot but has a few challenges for a wheelchair - a few scary steep hills and a few stores with no access! The best deal there was those layered tanktops Carolyn wears at the Gap Oulet for 2.99 - wild and my best deal was a cute top at Banana Republic outlet for $10.00.
But we are not shopped out yet.... Tomorrow we head for Portland with Lulu by our side - she is sleeping right now - she had a busy day.
