T Stands for Yarn Run with Red

I was starting another crochet project and had whined complained to Red that Michael's didn't have a really big selection of yarn. She called a week or so later and asked if I wanted to go yarn shopping at

Jo-Ann Fabrics. She said they had lots of choices.

and afterward, we'd go poke around the Christmas Tree Shop. But first back to Jo-Ann's

Lots of fun Fall decorations. I took a picture of the hedgehog for my friend, Tiggy, in Scotland. She loves hedgehogs.

Besides finding just the right color yarn I was looking for, I was thrilled to find the wreath stand. These have been hard to find come December when we bring a Christmas wreath to my parents' grave.  I snapped one up, but thinking about it, I should have bought two. Just in case, the item becomes hard to find next year.

And just when I thought how refreshing it was to see Fall and Halloween decorations having their own space,

I turned the corner to find Christmas decorations encroaching on Halloween. Guess that's why it's the Christmas Tree Shop

Grab a mug for your favorite beverage.

While heading to the checkout, we had a really good laugh about all the Wicked stuff. Mints,  fridge magnets, cup holders, coasters - all making fun of our Boston accent. We have a tendency to drop our "Rs". Use your blinkah when signaling a turn when driving your cah.

Red had been shopping for items for raffle baskets for the Waters Farm Fall Festival. She thought the Wicked Pissah items would be a big hit. So she bought a bunch of stuff. She was right, the baskets were a big hit.

Standing in line with all our loot. New garden flag posts, gifts for Christmas, goodies

and a splurge item for me.

After all the shopping, we were stahving so went to the Uptowne Mediterranean next to Jo-Ann's for lunch. Red had eaten at this restaurant before, and she gave it a rave review.

Lots of delicious choices

We split a spinach pie appetizer.

I had a gyro which is a most delicious Greek sandwich of lamb wrapped in a flatbread with tomato, onion (none on mine), and tzatziki sauce. Bliss. And the perfect end to the perfect day.
