I hit MARTIN’S again last night

Steve had a conference call with Asia last night at 9PM our time.  It had been “one of those days” where I realized it would be easier for me and the girls to just go out as opposed to trying to keep them quiet or forcing him to go sit in the car in the garage.  So, we went to MARTIN’S to pick-up a few things, look for more freebies, and pick out Father’s Day Cards.  Of course I ended up picking up extra things by having both girls with me.  I am not including the Father’s Day cards we picked up in my total.  MARTIN’S does have Hallmark cards and they are 10% off.  They are running a special this week that if you buy 2 Hallmark Expressions cards you get $2 off your purchase.  I bought 5 Hallmark Expressions cards but only got the $2 off (as opposed to $2 off for each set of 2 cards).

So, here is a picture of what we picked up:

(Steve arranged and took the picture for me that is why it is better than what you usually see.)
