"The moose out front should've told you"-National Lampoon's Vacation
I've been so busy this past week that I've neglected this poor blog. Work has been a bear and by the time I get home I don't have the energy to do anything. I did, however, try to paint a fan so that when it spins it turns all rainbow-y. Didn't work. I have so many projects to try to get going and they either don't turn out or I never get around to them.
Yesterday, the Mister and I went to Centralia, Washington to the Outlet Malls there. We met the in-laws for lunch at a yummy Mexican place called Casa Ramos. (929 Harrison Ave. Centralia, Wa 98531-2113 phone (360)330-2045) I'm not real big on Mexican food unless it is certain places or made by certain people. This place was fantastic! I had chicken enchiladas with rice and black beans. So good! I even got festive and had a Corona. I can count on one hand how many drinks I've had in the last 5 years. I hit the Bath and Body Works Outlet store. Mom-in-law and I sniffed and smelled and it was wonderful. One of my favorite scents that you can't get in the retail stores anymore is being retired, so once it is gone in the outlet stores, it's gone forever. I cleaned them out of the last 7 bottles of Bergamot Coriander body lotion they had. I'm sure they had more in the back but I think the girl was afraid to bring them out. I made a lady mad because I picked them all up. I can't help it if you're slow and I am selfish...
There was also a really neat Christian Book store on the other side of the highway in the other outlet complex. I got a Beverly Lewis Trilogy (love me some Beverly Lewis) and the book Heaven Is For Real and a metal bookmark with the words Let Go and Let God. I dearly love cheap shopping trips!
This is definitely a place you should hit if you ever come through this way.
Need to go set up the spare room. My nephew in the Navy will be visiting this weekend!!! Hope to hit Multnomah Falls! Hike to the top, anyone??
Welcome back Sister. Funny you mention the book, Heaven Is A Real Place. I just watched a program last night where they interviewed the author of that book. He's so down to Earth and "normal". He made me want to read his book so might have to go get me a copy too.

Thank you Honey. Is it by Todd Burpo about his son Colton? I can't wait to find time to get started on it. I have missed my books. With all of the digital reading now it is so hard to find an actual place with good books you can actually touch and turn pages on. All of the Border's bookstores closed. I'm not a huge fan of Barnes and Noble.
ReplyDeleteI love you too Sister!
Nope, I was thinking of a different book. It's called 90 minutes in Heaven by Don Piper. This man was hit head on by a truck and spent 90 minutes from the time he was hit till someone noticed he wasn't dead anymore. I think the full title is Heaven Is Real: Lessons on Earthly Joy from a man who spent 90 minutes in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check that one out. It sounds really interesting.
