I got mom and sis up bright and early to drive 60 miles east to Riverhead, Long Island
an hour later, we arrived at Tanger Outlets, ready to shop
three Starbies treats to keep our energy up for the haul
a find at the Pottery Barn outlet...if only I had the room for it...
West Elm warehouse: the reason we came
Ness and mom, ooo-ing and ahh-ing, feeling the pull of this table
found and purchased: Ness's dining room table for her new apartment
her West Elm table, pottery barn apples, and Marshall's place settings

What a difference a week makes, everybody. My mom, sister, and I woke up early, were energized and enthusiastic, happy and smiling most of Sunday on this day trip. The Sunday before that, we almost lost my sister after we had to rush her to the ER Saturday night for emergency surgery. She needed a week of bed rest, and look are her on this day! I'm so grateful she got better, and is back to her old self again, shopping for her new apartment. Life is funny.
I will always remember this day as one where all three of us were happy and healthy, and at the start of our independence...even mom. ♥ Sis and I are growing up, aren't we? It's weird.
