So long, Sonia.
Right on, Val. I stopped shopping years ago; now I just go to parties!
I perused your blog and LOVE IT. Sixty never looked so good, or sounded like so much fun. I want your life (especially now that it's like the Arctic out my door). Susan
It's good to see that some people are getting out of the habit of shopping, but I think it might be of a certain age group. The young ones are going at it like it's going out of style. (Whoo, THAT'S an old phrase, "going out of style").
