Weekend

Brad and I were both off this weekend so we went to some antique stores on Saturday.  We love to look but rarely buy much.  

That sounds like such an old-person thing to do.  Oh well, if the shoe fits....

I did find a Sports Illustrated with Dick Butkus on the cover!  YAY!  I had to dig through a box that had about three years of SI's but it was worth it.  I have a lot of the covers that the Bears have been on but the only other complete magazine I have (other than the ones since I've had a subscription) is the one with Walter Payton on the cover right after he passed away. 

Last night we drove down by the Capitol and I tried to get a good photo of it but FAILED!  My tripod is not that great so I had my ISO set really high so I could hand hold my camera and my photos were pretty grainy.  I need to get a new tripod or figure out a way to make mine work.

Today we went to Memphis to go to two of our favorite stores.

Like always, we got some great deals at the WS Outlet, mostly things we needed or have been wanting for a long time.  We have a huge list of things we have to get there before I quit working at PB and it was nice to mark a couple of things off.  

One item we didn't have on our list was this super cute watermelon knife (because who would really put a watermelon knife on a list of needs??).  But I decided since I'm from the home of the world's SWEETEST watermelons, I kind of needed it.  We usually get a couple CC watermelons a year so this year we'll be set!    I wish we weren't watermelon snobs and could just enjoy a regular one from Kroger just so we could try out our knife.

Dick's is our other favorite.  They have a big golf section and we always find something we need on sale.  I got a new outfit (super cheap!) and Brad got a couple outfits for a tournament in August. Why he wants to play in a weekend tournament when it's that hot is beyond me!  

I wish Little Rock would get a Dick's.  Hot Springs is the closest and that's not really close.

We had a great weekend and now I'm looking forward to a 4-day work week!  Brad is too, but when you work 12 hour shifts, I don't think 4 days is anything to get excited over.
