Well, it's Monday and the girls are back to school accompanied by Mom, Nana and Aunt Eileen. They brought cupcakes for Kendall's birthday celebration at school and pumpkins for carving for Veronica's class. Most of the morning was devoted to "assisting" with all of the actvity. Meanwhile, Aunt Roni spent a large part of her morning at a doctor's appointment that she was able to arrange earlier that morning. The doctor, staff, facilities and treatment rated an A+. Amazingly, the cost of the numerous prescriptions were about one third the cost of the doctor's visit. After the appointment, it was off to an excellent lunch at Julie's, a nice little deli/pizza restaurant.
The afternoon provided a real treat with a visit to the "Fake Market", which sells all kinds of copycat products. Here, we got our first lesson from an experienced bargainer. She may not have understood all that was being said but her "look" told them - go lower in price. The alternative method was to snatch the calculator and give them the "number" that would cut the deal. William Shatner couldn't hold a candle to our Holli as a "price negotiator"! Little did we know that we had just received a small glimpse of her incredible skills. The next move was to the Pearl Market and, once again, the master had us in awe.
The first experience in shopping was exhausting. Of course, part of that was due to the heat. The building was warm but so were the people. A lot of fun was had by all. A successful day for both sales people and shoppers.
That evening, the first homemade Chinese meal was prepared by the Aiee. It was definitely worth the wait.
