i told my mom about the thrift store close to us and she actually went. she got a nice coffee table and a stand for her radio unit for her place. lol, she picked us up earlier and as we were about to put some stuff in the trunk at krogers some swans came walking past her car. she got some pics with her cell. when merrick saw them he shouted ducks. there is a complex of apartments beside that krogers and theres a pond there and thats probbably where they live. 2morrow im going to put a check in that i got from the probate court in another county from when we went to get merrick's birth certificate, then probbably going to the dollar store to get some underwear for merrick and if i feel up to it then to the thrift store for some winter stuff for me and maybe (depends on if they are still out) some shorts to wear around here.
