The good weather only lasted one day. Today is foggy, but not cold - the mid sixties. It's weird to look outside at conditions that should be cold and miserable. Instead you step outside and wearing a t-shirt is comfortable.
The realtor wasn't available today, so we decided to spend the day driving around. We had some Christmas packages to mail and the wife wanted to get the Christmas letter for the Christmas cards printed out. It's quite elaborate. One side is a collection of pictures from the year with short captions. The other is the typical "this is what happened to use" newsletter.
We ended up stopping at some stores along the way. One was a yuppy toy store. Unfortunately it didn't stock many toys in the age range of our nieces. Most of the toys were for slightly older kids. Lots of "building" toys. There were Lincoln logs, Legos, circuit building kits, train sets, etc. The prices were eye opening. Usually about $30-$50 for a starter kit and about the same for all of the additional kits that you need if you really want to build something interesting.
We also stopped at a clothing store called "Texas Woman". It contained a lot of the kind of wild clothes that you associate with southern women. Lots of fur, animal prints, sequins, etc. Wife didn't see anything she liked.
We ended up at Bass Pro shops. I went there to get a bumper to replace one that Lucy destroyed. Unfortunately they didn't have the type I wanted. We did by a specialized 20 gauge bore brush and some crappie bait.
It was nice to get out of the park and do something other than look at houses. Tomorrow we're back with the realtor.
