Round And About!

Hello, Everybody!

Today is Veterans' Day. Ellen had the day off from school. Wednesday is not such a bad day to have off. We work two days, are off a day, and then only have two days until the weekend! We didn't want the day to be like another Saturday. You know, grocery shopping, running errands, catching up on things around the house, etc.

In the past, we have taken summer trips where we make a complete circle in our journey. We leave home one way and come home another. When it is plotted on a map, we have encompassed several states and completed a full circle. Today we did a circle trip around El Paso.

We started on I-10 and headed East, all the way to Zaragoza and the Las Palmas Shopping Center. We went to World Market. They had their coffee, buy one pound, get one free. Who can pass up a deal like that?! After getting what we went after, and a few other things, we decided to pick up Loop 375 to return to the Westside. That took us through the Northeast side of town! But the trip over the mountain was beautiful. There was not much traffic, and it made us feel like we were out of town. Where did we end up next, you ask?

THE OUTLET MALL!! How fun to go during the day on a Wednesday! We went in several places and then decided we were hungry. We stopped at the Food Court for lunch. Customer Service is located in the Food Court. They have wheelchairs available for anyone who needs one. In order for Sharon not to get too tired from walking, we got a wheelchair for her. Off we went to investigate more places! We did a little Christmas shopping and lots of looking.

When we finished at the mall, we got back on I-10 and headed to The Texas Store. We haven't been there for awhile, and wanted to see what new things they had gotten in for the holidays.

By this time we were both tired and ready for a little rest. We headed to Ellen's home to put our feet up and relax a bit. It has been a great day. Like we said, Wednesday's aren't such a bad day to have off!

Until next time. . . . . .
