Value Village Day--Rose Where R U?

Well another lonely Value Village day has past. The experience just isn't the same without my beautiful Rose in tow. However I did get some great buys even if it was not up to it's usual standard of excellence. As those who know me are aware, I pride myself on my children always looking their absolute best all the time, but we are not rich or even marginally well off so it means shopping at bargain stores and always keeping my eye out for the deals. Usually that means Value Village, and that is usually only three times a year on half off days. This year in June things were just too tight to afford to go, Jessica just had a growth spurt and ran out of pants so I was a bit concerned as to what to do when I spied the sign last week that brought an end to my dilema, a Value Village half off day, today.

So bright and early off I went in search of bargains and I did find some although not as much as usual. The selection in the children's department was slim pickins, although luckily I was able to get some stuff for Jessica. I did get some great shoes and boots for the whole family, and some books for moi, and some jeans and pants for Gil and I. So it did prove productive anyway but I must admit the experience lost something without Rose's presence.

For the past few times I've gone Value Villaging Rose has been living with us and came with me and we had such a fun girls day out so it felt very lonely and sad without her. I miss you Rose:(
