What's on your mind

Have you done any formal dress shopping lately? It is so hard to find stores that carry dresses. I just don't like to buy clothes online. I want to go into a store and physically try them on to see how the clothes look on me. Well my son is getting married later this year (so happy and excited about this) so I went out shopping with my cousin to find a dress. I went to Macy's in North Attleboro at the emerald square mall and found soooo many formal dresses. If you need a dress, this is the place to go. I found a dress I really liked but they only had sizes that were too big for me. Yesterday I went to Macy's in Natick and this store had the dress as well but only sizes too small for me. Fortunately I found an extremely helpful and happy sales woman named Helen. She found the dress in my size at several other Macy stores but also suggested that she order that dress and ship to my house. She also suggested that I open a Macy's free charge account to save 30%. So I did and...

Any Boston sports fans out there? well I am! I just wish my teams were doing better. The Celtics started out great this season but they are faltering now. Hopefully they get back on track with a win tonight. I love watching Payton Pritchard come off the bench, he is always hustling and I enjoy Drew Carter and Brian Scalabrine with the call of the games.  Bruins....I'm not too sure of their season as I just watched them lose another one. Charlie McAvoy and Brad Marchand are my faves on this team. We have the break for the 4 nations games so maybe we can come back strong once play resumes. I am very hopeful for the Red Sox season starting soon. Spring training next week. YAY! One of these years I have to get to Florida to check out their spring training. Can't stand Devers at third base, he makes way too many errors! I do enjoy the hustle from Jarren Duran!  And then we have the Patriots. Love that our new coach is Mike Vrabel and happy that McDaniels is returning to the team. D...

 When I was teaching I always looked forward to a good snow storm that resulted in snow days. Now that I am retired I don't want the snow or the cold temperatures. I just want spring to get here so I can do things out doors. I am not enjoying the single digit temperatures we have had the past 2 days. Spring is still 57 days away. Winter is the one season that I do not take any trips either day trips or over night. I do have something to look forward to once spring gets here. My trip to upstate new York is 73 days away. I am going to Vernon downs for some horse racing. When my sister was alive, I would drive out to NY and we would always go to Turning Stone casino for the afternoon and then eat at the buffet before heading to Vernon Downs for the races. After the races we would go to the casino at Vernon Downs because they always had a live band on Saturday nights and every band I saw there was great. I will be doing the same thing on my sisters birthday in memory of her. I will be ...
