Another Place to Find Clothing Deals

by

We went out yet again this weekend looking at the fall colors. I really wanted to post another fall picture since a lot of you seemed to enjoy the last one. My photo program isn’t cooperating at the moment. I think I need to reinstall it.

[EDIT – I got it to work this morning 🙂 ]

But I do have an in interesting financial tidbit to share from our fall color tour. We came across a few gift shops that were gearing down for the end of the season. That meant some very nice sales of 25-50% off. I was able to find a hat and t-shirt for $10 and my son was able to pick out a few Christmas gifts for grandma and grandpa for a nice price. We sometimes stop at gift shops to buy gifts for relatives, but it has been during the busy season. We need to start hitting them at the end of the season for the deals!

The downfall is that the selection is limited. You can only buy so many “My Town” shirts LOL. It’s a nice change from the plain shirts we often buy for the low price.

Getting Out and Enjoying the Show

by

Where I live, October brings a fabulous color show. There have been years where we missed it due to our work schedules. Lately, though, we have been trying to get out more and well, live a little. Last weekend was basically peak fall color time so we went cruising and did a little hiking. We were not disappointed. I said I would share a pic if I had any pretty ones. I do have one, and here it is.

I wish I could take a picture and it would capture the moment exactly like my eyes saw it. In person, the colors were so vibrant and the sky was light blue. It was a beautiful weekend. Before we know it, the fall color will fade and be replaced by a blanket of white snow.

Then we can go out sledding and snowshoeing 🙂
