BIG mall only a few stores are left. We went in this morning, I have not actually been in anything like that since COVID. It was actually delightful. Staff was sparse but just so good.

It was fun because they took a load of time helping us and we had fun with it and them. My husband is a retired doc and wants to go back to work, does not care much for the farm work so a nice new but cheaper suit was in line. I cannot remember a better time in any kind of store like that. They were happy, we were happy and I bet we would have looked for something cheaper if not, it was already way way on sale. We knew they knew we knew but it was just such a good vibe all around and really it has been a very long time since we have spent a little money. Helping each other out. No plans for this one to come down, it is being built up again somehow. It seems here that most stores have stayed open and just changed in different ways. I normally stay away from all of it but that is what it looks like here, just beginning to move around and figure it all out.

Into my old blue jeans I have barn work to do sometime today. Happy at a good people experience, made our day.
