Choppin'

On Labor day, Katrina got to go horseback riding with a friend which is really cool although she's pretty sore now.  Thomas hung out with friends, and Miriam and me? We went choppin'!!!  We went to a village of old houses made into boutiques to shop till we drop.  They were having sidewalk sales at all the shops and we had a blast checkin' out the deals.  Miriam bought shoes; I bought Brian a welcome home present.  Brian was driving home from the airport at the same time we were driving home from our outing so we met up at a Brazilian place for dinner.  Then we took our leftovers home for Kat and Thom and spent the evening sitting in the family room listening to Brian tell us all about his wonderful visit with Lily and her parents.  The highlight of his trip was getting to hold Lily for 3 hours straight and visiting with Cassandra and Emerson.  We had a very nice day!
