Early Morning Field Trip

 I'm still doggy sitting so yesterday morning I was up at dawn and out the door to pay a visit to this very familiar building in N. VA. I spent many an hour and many a dollar here years ago.

 The Grands live near Daughter's old training rink and she still goes out there on Wednesday mornings at an ungodly hour to run through her moves. Continuing education for coaches is a lot more fun than for teachers.

I really went to meet her to get this. She brought this back for me from my last kitty sitting gig. I do love taffy.

 She had to hit the road to get back to her rink in Wheaton right after her session so I decided to pass some time at the craft store across the street from the rink. It was in full autumn bloom.

 I want one.

Not this. It's creepy right? 

I seem to be on a sketch book buying binge. It's my latest collection of things I never use. I bought two. They were on sale.

Next it was the grocery store. Look what I found.

And this. It's a pumpkin spiced soda bread and oh, my gosh is it good. I love shopping at unfamiliar stores. You never know what you are going to find.
