Vera Bradley Feet Killing Extravaganza

For those of you who don't know what a Vera Bradley is - well, all I can say is I never want to see another one in my life. After going to the Outlet Sale in Atlanta this past weekend with my sister, I did not realize how many women were obcessed with Vera.

The journey started after parking and waiting in lines several hunreds long and then you get a pink bag to hold your "stuff" while you meandor threw the huge auditorium to buy your VERA's. Heaven forbid you put one down, you would lose it.

The sale started on a Thursday and by Saturday, they had marked stuff down and down so it was best to be there later in the sale. So everyone thought and everyone was there. The check-out lines were like the check-in lines at the Atlanta airport during 6 holidays combined. At one point they announced, if you sit down in the auditorium, you will be escorted out.

By the time we were done we were Vera-tired, Vera-hungry, Vera-grouchy, Vera-thirsty, Vera-broke, Vera-sore, Vera-over it. We laughed cause on the way home, Amanda (my niece) was sorting and adding up the savings. For the cost of a little over $240, we got $1,000 worth of Vera. Don't worry, it wasn't all for us. We shopped for the neighbors too.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU'LL MEET AT WALMART

Ok, It's a small world.
We are sitting on a bench in the lobby of Walmart cause Nick is having a sugar low and I am frantically trying to get some food into him before he hits the floor from passing out.

This husband and wife walk by with carts full of dog food and groceries and she has on a Buffalo Sabres T-Shirt. Nick, Mr. Social, says "Go Sabres, she thinks, he says "got Diapers" and she said OH NO DIAPERS, we laugh and re-explained, yada yada only to find out they are originally from "Depew" and "Tondawanda" New York. They knew where Alden (our hometown) was and the man had played on the Wendy league of little league against Nicks team when he was growing up. He knew "Bob Byers" who was the coach (lived on same street my sister lives on) and in the course of the conversation he says - he LOVED going to NEELANDS DAIRY.

Now Neelands was the famous ice cream shop in town and it was FAMOUS for its great ice cream. He then says his favorite ice cream was "Honey Dew". Oh my word, I about fell out off the bench cause that was MY FAVORITE at Neelands. You cannot find it anywhere today. NOT like Neelands.
We chatted somemore about Buffalo and such. They have 6 kids, we bragged on our grandkids and parted ways.
I immediately said to Nick in the parking lot - BLOG MOMENT DEAR.

HE'S a BUTTERBALL

Ty and Hunter are like night and day. This is Hunter. Although he started out alot heavier than baby boy Ty, he's slowed down and Ty has surpassed him in size. I love just how unique and different each one is. I will love being able to see them in a few more months and see even more changes. Pictures can't explain it.

I have this thing I do that my mom did with my babies, it's called giddy giddy. You grab their hands and lap them over their chests and tickle their necks while you do it. You tell them you are gonna get them (giddy giddy) is how it comes out. I had Hunter laughing out loud. They just lay there and look at you enamored. That is what being a gramma is all about.

TY TY

Here's the boy and he's a big one. Amazing how much this baby grew since we last held him.

NEW WEBSITE TO VISIT

Sarah started her business in photography. You must see this site.

Sis never had a hobby growing up besides loving to clean her room and keep her parents out of her hair while she was a teenager. We did find out later on that she was not as innocent as we thought - but I won't give away any family secrets.(We can only laugh now)

Just go to www.still-moments.com and surf away. She has done an awesome job and loves her new found hobby. She has done several family shots and headshots for me. Now when we are together, it's "Sis, can ya take our pics?" Pictures give us memories to embed on our hearts forever.

Enjoy.
P.S. maybe I will get commissions from this blog if you all hire her and I can finally quit my job!
And if any of my blog buddies know how to hook the link inside my text, can ya tell me.Thanks.

ADDRESS ALERT

Ok, so we told you that our house number would change in February, but given the slowness of the North GA mountains, that didn't happen (911 address change so they say).

My poor sister Joanne tried sending pics to me and yes, they came back several times to her and told her we didn't exist cause it had 46 Knox Leila on it and not still 260 Knox Leila.

Soooooo, Please continue to send any mail to the 260 Knox Leila address and forget the other one for now.

We have this awesome new sign with 46 on it that Nick's work gave us for a house warming gift after much research so it is stored away till it really happens or we sell the house and move again.
