Yesterday was a marathon of shopping. We left the house around 9 a.m. for Hometown Buffet in Peoria (had to use that BOGO coupon you know!). From there is was one store after another hunting down those elusive gift ideas for friends and family. It was almost dark before we made our way back home. (Stopped at Ruby Tuesdays for another BOGO deal for supper.) Louie the dog greeted us as if we had been gone for days!
