Our Annual Christmas Shopping Trip

Larry & I usually make a shopping trip to Jackson every year - either on the first Saturday or first Sunday of December.    This year due to him working on Saturday we had to go on Sunday.    (I refuse to go any later in the month - the first weekend is bad enough!)

Larry went to Academy while I went to Michaels.    Then we went to O'Charley's and ate lunch and on to Bass Pro.  Next stop was Belks, followed by Target and Walmart.   Then back across to Academy where Larry got Brent a knife he wanted.

We didn't find a lot of "bargains" as Larry calls them but when I got home and tallied up..... we spent several dollars!     Larry did find him a leather jacket (brown) at Belk's - he has been wanting one and it was on sale for $139.     I picked up an album and stickers at Michaels and several odds and ends items at Target and Walmart.    Larry nor I found anything at Bass Pro.

We decided that God was telling us that we already had too much and didn't need to buy any more "junk"!     We did have a good day.    Decided next year we will probably just go to Meridian since he didn't find anything at Bass Pro or Academy.


The "Rez"   It was really windy today and the water was choppy and very cold today - only got in the 40's.

Bass Pro is a huge store at Pearl - I love the fireplace when you first walk in!

By the time we went back across to Academy it was around 4:30 p.m. and the traffic had really picked up.    When we first got there around 9:30 there was very little traffic.
