Waking up in a very comfortable strange bed and wanting coffee. Good morning sleepy heads. Guess I can drag myself out of bed and make a cup. Ramada Inn in marquette put us up and puppy Buddy for the night. Out at 2:30 am so pup could go p*e and then sleep in till 8 am. Ahhhhh bliss! Just a quick trip to go pick up a few things we can't find at home. Gils gift card for Texas Roadhouse got used last night and never disappointed. So we should be back home in a few hours. Kohls, Myers , Target, TJ Max and Menards primarily. The girls in Four Suns were pretty busy last night and with the nice weather should be today as well. The colors are really starting to pop and with all the lushness of our trees we should have a beautiful Fall. The great grands have stopped in a few times this week and the excitement of school starting is their main topic plus gramma got them a few new items of clothing and they loved them. I can remember when my boys were little and yard sales were my shopping center and the boys would get excited over the clothes I would find for them. Back in the day name brand clothing was not a big deal and so they dressed like all their cousins and friends. Times sure have changed. People who grew up poor like us can relate. I think a lot of people feel poor with the cost of food, gas, housing and clothing. Honestly don't know how some make it. Im grateful that our area has quite a few programs to help with these essentials. I donate as much as I can and feel good about helping out. We will be putting out our donation jar to collect any change you have for the holidays. A customer stopped in the other day and wanted to thank us for having those airconditioners and fans in our giveaway as he won an air conditioner and ended up giving it to someone who was in desperate need of one. It warmed my heart knowing this. I will be having a drawing again for free turkeys and hams sometime in October. My dog is pestering me and biting my feet so it's time to sign off. I hope you all get to enjoy your weekend and can get out and enjoy the weather. A content gramma
