When you see a price tag like this:
And it is attached to this:
You just can’t pass it up.
So I didn’t.
A friend and I had traveled to a city far away…well, actually two hours away…to watch our boys play a soccer game. Rooster called me on the way to ask us to pick up some Dixie cups for the boys to use during water breaks.
No problem! We knew there was a Target near the school. The added bonus was the Starbucks located inside the store. We were anxious for some hot chocolate to warm us up before stepping into the frigid air. 50 degrees is cold down here in Florida!
While we were in Target, I suddenly remembered that I had left my gloves in my car…way back home. We had made a sudden change in our plans, and my friend had driven her van. I thought I had grabbed all of my cold-weather gear, but lo-and-behold, I left a very necessary item behind. My hands get very cold because I photograph all of the games I attend.
While I waited for my Starbucks order, my friend ran to take a peek at the gloves. By the time I met her in that department, she had the above gloves in her hand. Being the kind friend that she is, she offered them to me. I was pleased, to say the least. Especially when I saw that they were knit gloves with cables! My favorite!!
The cables make the gloves very thick and warm. Somehow, I think that the nice, low price makes them warmer.
Mind over matter.
Tonight I got a very nice compliment when someone asked me if I had knit the gloves. No, but that’s going to be one of the things I knit very soon!
Oh, and just for fun…
Here’s one of my newest pictures of Pele:
Doesn’t he look comfy?!
Ahhh…the dog’s life. Must be grand!
