Cheryl, great minds think alike.  I also did the &quot;shop&quot; run, from BJ&#39;s to WalMart to Joann&#39;s to Staples to Bed, Bath &amp; Beyond to Lowe&#39;s and ending at Home Depot.<br />I bought yarn and goodies at Joann&#39;s and started knitting bootees, I have completed one and have begun the second one.  When I&#39;m finished the bootees I&#39;ll start the blanket.  It&#39;s wonderful having cooler weather - I love knitting and crocheting.  I also got a new tablecloth and center piece for the Thanksgiving table and picked up some herbs and plants at Home Depot.  We got back and planted our herb garden and then planted other planters on our front deck.<br /><br />
