I’ve spent the last two days with friends from KC. We used to work together at Wal-Mart. They come down to see me once or twice a year. It’s soooo fun to see them. I look forward to their visits! The two of them brought an extra gal this time. I enjoyed seeing her again too. It’s been 13 years since I moved away from there, and yet they all look exactly like they did when I worked with them. However, I look 13 years older! What’s up with that!?!
They picked me up Mon. and we stopped at their motel so they could check in.
Then we headed to Lamberts to eat lunch. That’s the place where they throw rolls at you. It’s such a fun place to eat. People walk around all the time handing out fried potatoes, fried okra, black-eyed peas, and macaroni plus the guy that will throw you a roll when you get his attention. They keep butter and honey on the tables for the rolls. Ummmmm good! All the food was delicious and we left with our stomachs filled to the max.
The Branson Landing was our next stop. We shopped and shopped. It was a lot of fun. We acted like a bunch of giggling teens trying on clothes, making jokes, and laughing so much our faces hurt.
K and E had so many packages that they kiddingly (I thought) talked about getting one of the little carts that parents rent to push their children in just so we wouldn’t have to carry all those sacks. Well, guess what? They weren’t kidding!
We also went to the Tanger Outlet Mall and shopped until they run us out of the place. Then at 9:30 (!) we were eating at the Olive Garden. I got back home at 11:00 pm with plans that they would pick me up again at 9 am for another day of shopping.
We spent the next day at the Battlefield Mall here in town. It rained quite a lot, so we couldn’t have planned our days better even if we were able to control the weather. We shopped, tried on clothes, ate lunch, and shopped some more. It was so much fun being together, catching up on news, and watching each other try on clothes.
We stopped for ice cream (the sun was shining by then) and more talking on the way to drop me off so they could start back home. We planned another trip in Sept. We’ll all meet each other at Osage Beach and shop at the big outlet mall there. I’ve never been there so that’ll be quite a time, I’m sure. I can’t wait!

Looks like you girls had a blast! Maybe I’ll join you at the Lake!

The last picture – where did she get that blouse?? I love it!
I’m glad you guys had a great time! I just imagine you gals giggling and acting silly.
The COW key chain incident comes to mind!
