A bargain day

today was a proud day for me - lots of bargains.

after sleeping leisurely this morning, i awoke to rain. rain that caused a change of plans. instead of downtown franklin, we went to opry mills outlets. it was not disappointing. rain makes for a good day of shopping.

everyone got a prize and a few for myself. i like outlets, especially those that spell GAP. i saw clothes we never had in beaumont, not surprising since i live in such a metropolis. the disney store held grand deals for my little ones and craig will be pleased when he opens his bass pro shops bag.

next, we went to the Opryland Hotel area. it is very luxurious with lush landscaping along the river among delta cascades. many unique restaurants and shopping surround the music city resort. we took pictures because i am a nashville tourist. i still have not seen anyone famous but my eyes are peeled.

tomorrow is the history day in downtown franklin, hopefully the weather is nice. i must remember my education, since i do have a minor in the subject. my present mommy vocabulary has allowed me to forget my previous knowledge. i would not change it for anything. i miss my little ones, sweet faith called me to say good night. claire wanted to talk too, which thrilled me.

as soon as i said hello, she said, "mommy, can i talk to paula?'' oh yes, she misses me something terrible.
