Well, we small town gals had a good time today. We didn't go to DeSoto Caverns as originally planned, but are going to "Southern Adventures" park tomorrow instead.
Today, Roxanne had her first-ever massage at the hotel spa. She came out looking so relaxed she was barely recognizable. Nicole told her, "Wow, I think you liked it!" Roxanne just smiled dreamily. "And you smell good!" Nicole added (not always the case with Roxanne, so worth noting).
Later, at a pretty outdoor mall that Monnie took us to, Nicole got a professional manicure with sparkly purple nailpolish.
I did not tell them that one procedure cost $7.27 more than the other, so as not to upset the delicate "who do you love more" balance. I prefer to keep them guessing.
Monnie needed a new small purse but refused to pay the 200 or more dollars expected at the stores at the posh mall, so we went to a "regular" mall. There we went to a great little store that had nice purses and more, though at more reasonable prices. There were many, many purses, and Monnie spent so long trying to choose between them that the girls and I grew a crop of corn from seed to harvest. But she did pick a really cool purse.
Monnie has been graciously driving us all around Huntsville. We got to see the vet's office that she manages, and it was quite the place. The area still bore some marks of the tornadoes that have passed through.
She was driving us around in the Toyota that I became so familiar with during our trips to Vermont - and I gotta say, she does it all without Gigi. She knows Huntsville well enough to sort of pick her way around, saying things like, "I'm not sure where it is, but it's around here somewhere - I'll find it" . . . and then she does.
Driving around in the Toyota brought back good memories of our trips to VT, and we had some good laughs remembering. We sure miss the other M's, and our friends in VT.
Your friends in Vermont miss you too. :)
