It was hot and humid (not Marilyn's weather - Terry was happy as a clam).
We got a late start, after writing Mitch and Marty about Betty (she died three years ago today). We miss her and her sense of humor. She always saw the bright side even when things were bad.
Marty, Betty and Mitch
We headed to Seabreeze Recreation Center for a Glass Fusion Show. We did not buy anything.
We then went over to Dollar Tree - Terry was searching for an insulated case, but did not find what she wanted.
We then had a trip over to Anthony's (25% off sale) but we did not buy anything.
Next was our final Beall's Outlet run and Terry found a cute top - they almost paid her to take it home, as we had a $5 credit.
Terry ran into Publix for a few things (all in one bag) just to fill in for the rest of the week.
