Mecca

Being out on the middle of nowhere had some advantages. If we drove a ½ hour west we entered Mobile Alabama. In Mobile there was this great outlet mall. There were so many stores my husband, who loved to shop, felt he had found his Mecca. It was mostly designer stores and it was a true designer outlet mall where we saw some of our jackets that we had bought about 1 year ago.

I fell in love with the Timberland store. It was a shoe store that was buy one get one free on equal or lesser price. I bought a pair of tennis shoes and a pair a hiking shoes. when I say hiking shoes I do not mean the hiking shoes that was in style to hike on the city streets. These were made ruggedly with great traction. I loved htem. The Tennis shoes were the most comfortable shoes I had ever worn . (remember these shoes, I will talk about them in a later post)

We came home from our shopping trip with our great finds. These finds were so great that 13 years later, I still have those hiking boots
