TRIED to find decent pair of pants, at thrift shop and then burlington c.f., before visiting with cousins I see very seldom. I shop for myself even MORE seldom than I take overnight visits, don't LIKE to shop, but have a few $ so decided I'd try.

WELL, shopping a FLOP, actually tried on some pants and then said, 'I quit! That's all my shopping for this year!' Just as well I didn't spend anything on pants, as I treated family to dinner and spent A LOT. VERY good dinner, so OK that I didn't find pants!
