Go on a shopping Spree for back to school sales and clothing and school supplies and maybe a couple of nice outfits for your fall wardrobe. Do you go alone, with friends, take the children? And do you shop in Stores like Macy's, Kohls and TJ Maxx or Walmart, Target or maybe Thrift stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army? Macy's, Kohls, Old Navy and TJ Maxx is my go to shopping spree choice

I grew up in a small town, but for the last two weeks of August my parents rented the same cottage in the woods at a beach for about 15 years. I loved that part of the summer the most. Now that I'm retired, my husband and I bought a small house in the woods near that same beach, and it's a wonderful place to live full-time.

I would take my husband along and I really wouldn’t care where we went. One vacation we took was only in a certain direction to start. If we wanted to take a road not travelled before, we did, if a town looked interesting we stopped, went to things we saw along the way, stayed in areas not planned. We did this for approximately 14 days and had a wonderful, relaxing vacation.
