Shopping Secrets

If you know anything about my mom she is a shopper extraordinaire! This was evidenced tonight as she greeted the girls with multiple shopping bags and "deals" that she found. This is not a new found hobby. In fact, when we were teenagers we used to make many trips to Grand Forks and the Columbia Mall. We'd spend all day shopping and come home with a trunk full of bags. Mom would say, "Let's just bring one or two bags in and then we'll get the rest in later in the week so that dad doesn't know all the shopping we did." I am pretty sure my dad caught on to our tricks but he let us think we were pulling one over on him.
