My sister Ronda and I were THRILLED to be attending the three day Singer Featherweight Workshop in Hamilton, Missouri. I can hardly believe we got this lucky!!
And -- hey -- GREAT opportunity for a very rare ROAD TRIP!! (neither one of us can remember ever doing one)
 |
| About to start our adventure -- we are pulling out of Ronda's driveway -- and she was in charge of the travel-coffee-cups!! |
As you can imagine, I AM THE MASTER when it comes to actually PLANNING a Road Trip. And that was fine with Ronda. Our trip would take about 6 hours...so I went to Google to see what was happening in the Des Moines area. (our half-way point).
Ronda really, really had no idea what she was in for.....
 |
| Yes, America!! DES MOINES HAS A GOODWILL OUTLET. |
 |
| Which is H.U.G.E....It actually takes up most of a strip mall. |
 |
| Yikes. Inside, there are those loaded up buggies...full of undiscovered treasure!! Clothes, purses, suitcases, craft supplies...UNBELIEVABLE...appliances, bedding, quilts, pillows, books, shoes, boots, hats, pictures, wall hangings, |
 |
| Ronda has NEVER been to a Goodwill Outlet. Obviously....look at her face!! |
 |
| They push out two or three new buggies every 20 minutes or so...so the merchandise is constantly churning... |
 |
| At the end of your shopping expedition, they WEIGH your cart.And you pay 89 CENTS a pound!! |
 |
| My bill was $16.02 |
 |
| AND MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY FULL.....the trunk was so full, we had to fill the back seat TO THE ROOF... |
You are CRAZY!!!!!!
