Saturday morning I met Nancy a little later than usual (9:30) because we decided to "do" lunch instead of breakfast for a change. It's so much easier to do 9:30 than 7am! We went to Talbots and shopped their sale. There wasn't much and they had rearranged the store to hide the emptiness. It really didn't work too well and wasn't so pleasant to shop in. Nancy had received two cards in the mail from Talbots for 30% off, one for her and one for a "friend". I was the friend. They had a wonderful sale on socks and we both stocked up!
I've been hearing that Talbots was in trouble and that they have already closed their men's and kid's stores and that they are planning to close many of their ladies stores. This experience on Saturday really seemed to back that up. It's a shame.
Then we went to Bert's house, but he wasn't there. We left cards (his 91st birthday is Wednesday) and Nancy sorted through Mother's mail and the junk mail and then we left.
We just couldn't decide where to have lunch, but as we were driving down Capital Circle we saw Famous Dave's Bar-b-que and whipped in. Talk about a feast!! We both had the Devil's spit bar-b-qued hamburger. A half pound of meat with jalapeno bacon and all the trimmings slathered with Devil's Spit Bar-b-que sauce. Talk about to die for!!! I got four meals out of that burger!!! The manager bought us dessert, bread pudding, and it was absolutely wonderful! So good that I got the recipe!
It's been quite cold. One day this weekend I wore a hat, scarf and jacket in the house all day!
