"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

When Jamie Goes Shopping

This (shopping) is a rare event in my life. Just yesterday I was discussing with Justin how I would buy new shoes if that were in our budget presently. He said I wouldn't, and finally, I was forced to agree. I don't really like shopping all that much.


But today I went looking for a specific item for GQ's Halloween Costume.


I accidentally came back with this:


Considering I've never bought him anything (thanks Em) I figured it was okay.



Meanwhile, in other news: Who is the genius who puts size small on the top shelf? Do they really think I can reach that high? And sure, there are some of those ultra-tall, and thin people about.... but I really think short people like me are more important.

just so you know...i had been saving and I decided to make an attempt to leave the house...so I went to the mall to look at christmas clothes for the boys...just you wait in a year you can have andy's....and then a year later cody's....it is too bad that GQ will have to wear the same thing two years in a row...; )

THIS IS THE DARLING jacket I saw GQ in when we met at Kneaders for dinner! I wanted to take a picture SOOOOO badly and that is when I realized that, though I had remembered the camera THIS TIME...AND THE RECHARGER!!!...I was presently OUT OF BATTERY JUICE and so could NOT TAKE THE PICTURE!!!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put a picture of GQ in this jacket on your blog so that I can see it!!!!!

Better yet, PLEASE send me an email of him in his jacket so that I can make a copy and put it in my collage!!!!!

Love,
Grandpa Paula
