8-21-2015 Easy Come, Easy Go

So, Charlie did not get the carpentry instructor job he'd applied for. The other 2 applicants already have their teaching certificates. He is quite disappointed. He took the kids to OCMD because his mom offered them to stay in her room for free. At first, he thought he didn't want to go since he didn't get the job, but I think the time having fun will be good for him.

Kathy wasn't planning to go to the beach this year. She'd been to Cape May for a wedding in the spring and that was going to be it. But then she started watching the media coverage of the Pope coming to Philly next month. She's convinced Philly is going to be bombed. She decided to go to the shore "one last time" before she dies in a bombing. Honest to God.

Mom and Dad came down today to drop off Dad's truck for me to use since Charlie has my Highlander. After we had lunch, they left and I went shopping. I had a wonderful time! I bought a little blue and green chippy paint chair, triple hoop earrings, a triple band bracelet, 2 resin birds, and a Vera Bradley backpack at a consignment store. Then I went to Goodwill and bought a pair of Keen shoes, a pair of Merrell shoes, 3 purses, and a jacket for Luke for school. The main reason I quit shopping and came home was because I filled the cab of Dad's truck!
