You might ask, how often can one attend to the thrift store? Everyday, I would answer. Old things become new and retro items move to chic must halves. I will post a photo of all my finds soon.

The Dress

On 'Day Two' the first day we shopped the thrift store there was a dress in the window. It was $20.00 new. An Evan Picone black Marilyn dress with a sheer back and sleeves. My size. Mary ordered it out of the window and insisted I try it on. She has a background in woman clothing as do I and we both knew this was a great score.

I said "Sure but I am not buying it it is out of my budget, I have to save my money for Sushi tomorrow". It looked fantastic, Mary bought the dress and said she'd sell it to me at the end of my stay if I had any money left. We noticed a small flaw and asked the price be reduced.  Today I bought the dress from Mary for $15.00.

The EdGe Restaurant

For dinner I was treated to the EdGe. I recommend this restaurant for the food. The food was fantastic. The food was perfect. Did I mention how great the food was? The restaurant was cold and the door could not be closed due to the kitchen ventilation problems. I am sure there is more to this than was shared with us since the door must be closed at some point this year. The servers were a bit rushed and busy and could have used some help with clearing which was too bad because this could have distrated from the great meal.

I did my best to ignore the cold and the average service and focused on the Food. But still why oh why did I change out of my pants and sneaks to dress up in a skirt and sandals with my bare legs? If you have ever seen the senior citizen covered from head to toe in August they are probably on their way to dinner, wisdom.

I am leaving tomorrow. Earlier than my free ride home. Earlier than I expected.
This was not in the plan, anybody's plan. I wonder if I should have left earlier. Writing this I am sure I should have. My attentions are called to my family and the loss of a very special friend.
