This is post #101, and certainly long overdue!
Last weekend was the "Tenth Annual Shopping Trip" and what a blast! We met at Younkers for a day of shopping. We made plans to meet at the food court for lunch at noon, and after that we made plans to meet again at 4:30 so that we could go check into our hotel, and then proceed to the Olive Garden for dinner.
I can't tell you how many laughs we shared, but there were many.
I don't go to shop, but wouldn't miss the fun when this group gets together! Golda and Landon met us for lunch and I learned that Landon is expecting a baby brother for his birthday! 
Landon was enjoying lunch with all the girls. Naturally, he and Miss Emily
were the center of
attention.
One of the planned events was a pajama fashion show. We all had ballots, and at least ONE of us (not telling who) voted for herself!
Becky was the winner, by one point, and was awarded with a certificate and lovely prize package. It was decided pretty much that next year's pajama fashion show contest would have categories. I have to wonder what categories might be included. That should be interesting, as well as entertaining!
The event coordinators, Sally and Heidi, had gift bags for each of us. Each bag contained a commemorative candle, pretty autumn sticky note pad, scented sachet packet, a lovely bracelet, and chocolate. 
That was so nice, but there's MORE! One of the bags was a "special bag" with an
additional gift to commemorate the fact that it was our 10th trip, and guess who was the lucky recipient of the "special bag"! That's a $10 bill. I have yet to decide what I will do with that special item!
Special thanks to Heidi and Sally for planning the trip, events, and the prizes and gifts! Also, thanks to Julie for the gift of candy and the Santa ornament. And thanks to each of you, because you are more than friends, and because of that, I'm not going to post the pictures that were so funny, but might be embarrassing to some.
Well, I'd planned to put on pictures of some of the other contestants of the pajama fashion show, but Dennis has arrived and needs a ride to the field. I guess this is it, for now anyway.
However, keep in mind that I do have pictures, so you better be nice to me!!!!

I guess since you posted the trip before me - it was ok for you to steal my pictures and post them??? LOL just teasing. I think I will steal YOUR pictures - which are of Sis in her jammies and your display of items!!
I, too, had a great time and it kills me NOT to put the picture of (nameless girl) on here!!!!
I know! I also wanted to put that horribly hilarious picture in, but I love her too much!
Besides, I think it's not nearly as funny just seeing the picture...it was one of those "you had to be there" moments!
I apologize for stealing your pictures, but they were so much better than mine!
lol it's ok! I just wanted to give you a hard time!!!
And you're right - anyone else seeing that picture posted would be like WHAT THE...... and would see absolutely no humor in it at all! Tis why I emailed it to our group - I meant it...when you need a pick me up there it is!!!
I'll do my blog later. Right now I'm having a sneezing fit and should go clean up the kitchen!!!!
I'm certainly glad you could join us again this year. I was afraid you might have to take the bus somewhere. You always make our trip so much more fun. Remember years ago over at the Lone Star when you had us play that game in the lobby. You are a hoot!
Darn, I always hate to miss the party!! Love you, Francie
