Yesterday Mon took me out for my birthday(which was actually Thursday). We went to several craft stores around town. She would go in with me for a little while then go out to the car and mess around on her iPad mini.

I would look around for 10 minutes or maybe a little longer until I could no longer stand the pain. Of course I would then have endure the ever increasing pain just trying to make to the car to take a break. I would chat with Mon in the car.

After 15-20 minutes I would go and finish looking around. When I was ready to check out I would cross my fingers 🤞that there were not too many people in line to check out. I would be past time to take a break and just standing, especially when I’m in need of a break is a killer.

When lunch time rolled around and we were ready for  food 🍔 we had lunch at Steak & Shake. It had been quite awhile since I had eaten here, and I love their fries🍟.

Originally the plan was to go to a big craft store about an hour away. However, when I was looking up their address I found out they had gone out of business December 20, 2019.

This was a major disappointment as I loved this store. Both Mom and I were excited at the chance to be looking through all their goodies…sigh.

All in all despite all the unbearable pain it was a great birthday gift from my parents. They had also given me some fun money 💰. so that was great Too! Technically, I s’pose it was a birthday gift from my husband as well since I was also shopping with our money….lol He’s a great guy.

Thanks tons to Mom, Dad, and Hubby!!!
