Another Week…
Posted on | October 27, 2008 | 8 Comments |
Over the weekend, we went to the homecoming parade and then we went to Branson, MO. We didn’t go to any shows, we just went shopping to the outlet malls. My parents have been pumping up the economy. Which at the same time is so odd since a lot of the clothes are made in Indonesia and when I’m there I’d shop at the outlet and buy American Eagle stuff for $2 for example but there are my parents here, hoarding Levi’s and more. They say the ones that made it to the U.S. are better quality and the same ones in Indonesia are three times as much. Ok, whatever {::SMILES}. It’s interesting too to see how they are so into brands. Just the itty bitty Levi’s tag won’t do, you got to have it showing, the bigger the better. I showed my mom this cute top and she said no, the brand name isn’t known in Indonesia. Wow.
Then we stopped at Lambert’s, which we thought was a must stop for them. How many restaurants throws their food around, right? Also, it’ll give them a taste of some mid-west home cooking… and all you can eat. My parents cannot get over that. How much food were going around and served and how much people eat.
So that was our weekend. More adventures tomorrow, Tuesday, when I take my parents into Kansas City. Maybe we’ll stop at the Kansas City store and buy something with a HUGE KC on the chest, ha ha!

How come I’m from Missouri and never heard of the “thrown roles” restaurant?! Maybe I’ll have to drag my folks over there when I’m home for Christmas! hee! hee! I *love* bread!
Add a CommentWhat a clean and simple card! Sounds like you are having fun :)
Add a CommentAdorable card! We were just shopping at some boutiques here in Spain and saw several things made in Morocco. Somehow it just seems wrong to spend $70 on a shirt that I know cost next to nothing to make… we need to find the factory in Morocco and get one there!
