We went to Burlington and finished our shopping today while Jim was showing the house.  We are now done except for the things that we will shop for with the girls and kids when we are in Tucson.  So nice to be done. 

It was fun to go with Greg today.  We made comments on different outfits (and no, I didn’t buy any more cloths!!) but some were really pretty, others….not so much!  Then it was off to Diamond Dave’s for nachos, needed to keep up the tradition.  Called Cyn while we were there just so she could be jealous!

The trees had the sun glistening off the ice and making them still look like ice trees, so beautiful.  Although I hate the cold, I must admit that the ice is beautiful.  Since the wind wasn’t blowing today it wasn’t so cold, it was actually quite pretty.

We are going to dinner with John and Bert at the Button Factory in Muscatine later today.  We have never been there, in fact, until they mentioned it we had never heard of it!  Sounds fun though.

While we were in Burlington we went into this new shop in the mall that had some neat things, like gooseberry jelly for Bob, get him some every year at Old Thresher’s and didn’t this year so it was nice to find it.  Also got something for Alan, he may get a kick out of it, we’ll see.

Darn, just thought about a gift we still have to pick up.  We forgot to get the soccer ball…ok, will do that shortly!  I also need more wrapping paper so have to go anyway.

Think I’ll bake some more cookies tomorrow, sounds like a good idea to me since all of those I made are in the freezer.
