What I Buy Wednesday

Okay, I cannot help myself. I know you are sick of it, so I'll keep it brief! Plus, I'm still on my trip. I'm in the middle of Missouri visiting the twins in Salem. More on that later. 

So, last week, I had the neighbor girl over--she's 13. While we were in Hawaii, she did all of the watering. 

After we got home, I invited Abigail for tea and to discuss Taylor Swift's wedding plans! I figured she would dread hanging with an old lady so assured her that I wouldn't keep her long--really, just long enough for a brief "get to know her" conversation and to pay her. Instead, she was delightful and stayed an hour until I basically pushed her out--literally standing up with envelope in hand! I really only planned to keep her a half hour, but she stayed and stayed--even when I gave her "easy outs"! We were having a good time! When she left, she asked if she could take some scones home!! And, during our visit, she helped herself to 3 cups of tea. Her mother had told me that she was very shy. She loves tea, Taylor, books and theater. We never even had time to discuss books and barely touched on theater!! Prior to this, I don't think she said two words to me! Such a sweetheart!

She recommended this book and offered to run next door to get hers to "loan" me. Instead, I bought it for myself and sent her a text to let her know.

Basically, it's a beautiful book of all of TS's costumes from the Era's Tour. 

So fun! She really does put on a show for her fans!

Thanks Abigail! Really, we have so much in common--we could have been "besties" if we weren't 60 years apart! 

So the watering cost me a bit more than just the watering! But it was worth it. I have a new friend in a new generation! That's just plain cool!
