I have had the most spectacular day today. I awoke this morning and had coffee with my husband at our apartment in Daphne. After he left for work ,I got busy on my Bible Study and did today's lesson on patience. I am learning a lot and trying so hard to be diligent with my homework. I was on about my third cup of coffee and just looking out my window thanking God for all my blessings.I had to take the dog out(on a leash) and wait for her morning ritual and then back inside to shower and get ready for my grandson Brooks who was coming over to visit his DeeDee this morning. Lauren and Mary Fuller went to a Bible Study at their church, Eastern Shore Presbyterian in Fairhope.Brooks was so happy today. Yesterday he screamed a lot but today he was all smiles. We went for a stroll . It was a little cloudy but he was looking around so amazed by his surroundings . We got through with our stroll and he had a big bottle and went fast to sleep right in the middle of my bed. I just looked and looked at him and prayed over his precious self. What is he going to be like in a few years? Is he going to rough and tough or a mamas boy? His eyes are blue and he is chubby and so sweet right now. He laughs at everything. I just love him so much.I know..I am just so smitten by my grandchildren..His mom and sister came to pick him up around 12:30 and I got busy thinking about my next adventure.
Jason says I am addicted to shopping, but oh well. I could be Brittany Spears or Lindsey Lohan but shopping isn't all that bad! I headed to my favorite haunt called Two Hot Mamas in Foley.This is a plus size botique..Look out !!! I did not find a thing but loved looking and trying on several outfits.I had lunch alone at the Shrimp Basket. This is my favorite place, my family hates it and won't go with me. I then ventured to the giant Old Time Pottery. I browsed for hours. I looked at dishes, Christmas decoration,rugs, mirrors, on and on. I ended up buying Lucy a few things to put in her book shelves. I left there and went to the Outlet Mall. I only went to two stores there...Liz Claiborne and Carters..I bought Mary Fuller some winter pajamas and I won't even tell you what all I got for me...You will see me wearing it over and over for the next season. Anyway..It was a great day and on the way home I needed to celebrate my friends Pat's birthday so I stopped at Sonic and got a root beer float and thought of my special friend. I have learned to love being alone . It is something I had to work at and now enjoy.. I could entertain myself for hours with all the things I love to do and look at. I am so blessed to have a sweet husband who does not fuss too much about my addiction problem! I am headed home tomorrow for a busy weekend. More details of that later..Pray for us, we might have some breaking news to share soon. Loving all of you..Happy Shopping!!!Robin
One more thing...To Jeane Carroll..I love the dress but you will have to ask Daddy first. I am all about it! Tell him I said it was OK!!!!

I wish I could have gone to Old Time Pottery with you!!! I love that place... it's a "digging" place and I love to "dig"! So glad you enjoyed being along yesterday... it's been so long since I've been alone that I'm not sure I'd know what to do! :)
Hi Robin - Sounds like a wonderful day. It's always good for me to get alone and listen for God's voice in my heart. Life is SO noisy. You are making precious memories with those sweet grandbabies. Missed you yesterday, but so happy to hear of your fun day.
Be Blessed! Lori
I don't think I want to know what it is like to be alone- by myself? I don't even like to shop. I guess I need to learn how in the next 18 years. Unless the big news is that Lucy is expecting, or JC is getting married- I don't want to hear it!!!!!! I am so glad you got special time with that sweet boy! See you soon!
