WonderWoman & I have had a tradition for Black Friday for years.
It started years ago when the grandhunks were old enough
to go with their Dad, Superman, to the LA Aunto Show.
We went early am to Fashion Island to shop, eat and play.
This year we improved on the tradition by adding C & C.
Friends for 40 years, we are a good group.
Carole picked me up at 7:30, as Cheryl picked up WW.
We met at Fashion Island before 8 am when the stores opened.
It had rained all night but stopped around 7 am.
Our first stop was Anthropology, where I shot samples ...
... of what I saw, for your shopping guide.
After, picture time in from of the amazing tree.
We visited a variety of stores and shops, 30%, 40% and 50% off!
Purchases were made, the evidential bags were spirited to the car.
We walked a lot, then took a tea & croissant break.
WW shot this, she said I looked funny with all my crumbs.
WW had made reservations last week at R&D for 11:30.
There was a little more shopping & laughing,
then someone suggested we go to nearby ...
Where they really decorate for the holidays.
They had strolling carollers ...
Rogers Gardens has room & room & rooms of holiday
decorations but we spent our time with the beautiful plants.
It was a lovely Black Friday.
No pushing or shoving, a little hugging now and then.
Small, doable crowds that got bigger as we left. A great day!
Thank you, Cheryl and WW for another special day.
A smile for Saturday ...
