Last week I went with Mrs. Chandler to Jo Ann's fabric store. She asked me to carry her purse, which I did. Later she asked me to retrieve a sewing box from the top shelf, which I did. Unfortunately, after I handed her the sewing box, I forgot to pick up her purse, which I had set down to perform the assigned task. We realized it was missing a few minutes later, and a search turned up no purse. Fortunately, a clerk had found it and locked it up safely, so she was able to get it back.
She said she isn't going to have me carry her purse in the future. Darn.
At one time I had Mr. Mercat convinced that Jo Annes was a lot like a hardware store. He sees it as basic construction materials and he relaxes. He is also okay with What Not to Wear since he is a designer/engineer type and sees the process as a type of design. Neither of us indulge in the above very often. I’m not a very girly girl but in my later years I’ve come to enjoy frau frau more.
