I hadn't heard from Amanda in quite some time so I sent her the following text:
I've resisted the urge to hire a carrier pigeon, send smoke signal, or skywrite "CALL YOUR MOM" but honestly, it's getting tempting. I'm not asking for a full-blown family reunion (unless there's casserole involved), just a little sign you still know I exist. No pressure...but the pigeons are on standby.
I got a message back saying that she was going to message me to see if I wanted to go to Hobby Lobby. Of course I was in.
We went to Hobby Lobby and I didn't take a pic outside but I do have one of our cart going down the aisle. Only thing I got there was a pillow form that I need for a Christmas present and I found some earrings that I thought Presley would like.
We also went to Michaels, Romolo Chocolates, At Home and Eat n Park
I didn't get anything at At Home but Amanda found some cute Halloween decorations which she was on the lookout for
Can't remember what my lunch was but it was yummy
We also made a stop at Giant Eagle so I could get some meat and then a stop at the Wine and Spirit store because Amanda wanted some slushies. They are a single serve and come in a pouch that you throw in the freezer. I got a couple to try but keep forgetting about them.
Thankfully Amanda was there to remind me to take pictures. It seems I forget any time I'm out anymore which is why I don't have much material for blog posts.

You forget to take pictures when you go out with her because you are having so much fun. I would love all of these places!!!
I care a lot more about you having fun with Amanda than in the pictures. :)
Looks like a nice time.
It sounds like a jolly outing. How did you resist the chocolates??
That sounds like a really fun day!
BOL BOL send carrier pigeons are smoke signals. That was hilarious. So happy you and Amanda had a fun and tasty Mother/Daughter day. You probably should have gotten some chocolate. Hershey recently announced they were going to have a huge increase. Kiddos at Halloween might be getting bubble gum
Happy work week
Hugs Cecilia
My kind of day for sure Ann. We could sure have a good time if we lived near each other...these are some of my favorite shopping places...have a good week. I know it's going to be easier..
It's good to get out and about on the weekend. You lunch did look good. I'm hungry now.
Have a fabulous day and week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
I am just glad that you had a wonderful time and you did. But why no chocolate????????
A day out with family is the very best. Glad you could do it.

So glad she responded to your "oh so subtle" urging haha You went to some of my fav places!
Sounds like a lovely day out with Amanda.
I am so glad you got to spend a lovely day out with Amanda! Ooh that chocolate shop - I wouldn't be able to resist :)
Loved your text to her! lol!
I always forget to take pictures when I am with people because I am enjoying their company so much.
Looks like you had a good visit while shopping. Those are always fun! :)
Wow! I have to say that you ended up having a very busy day. You went to so many places. Happy for you.....
I need to send that kind of message to my son, although I doubt I would get such a quick response from him!
The same with my oldest daughter....sometimes it's months in between contacts. With my son it can be weeks sometimes. The deal here is.... youngest daughter still lives at home and both older kids think that if they keep in touch with HER, it's the equivalent of keeping in touch with ole Mom & Dad too....because, if anything was wrong, surely youngest daughter would tell them. Bleh! But I figure, hey.... don't contact me out of obligation.... contact me because you want to contact me. But whatever! So I hear ya, sista! Love, Andrea xoxo
Probably because chocolate at those specialty places is a million dollar$ per pound! *haha* And it usually never beats a good ole Hershey bar. :-)
Looks like a fun time out. Your note gave me a chuckle and I am glad she got in touch. I wouldn’t have been able to resist the chocolates but good on you that you did!
That sounds like such a fun day...I bet it was great to get out like that.
