Soup and Shopping

I don't know about you but I find a bowl of soup extremely comforting especially on a cold day.
This is exactly what I was looking for when we went out for lunch.
Nourishment, warmth and comfort during times of stress.

Chicken Penne Soup with dumplings...

After lunch we strolled along the streets lined with people who were darting in and out of the retail shops.
Energy and a real mix of consumers, young and old alike carrying bags with recognizable logo's.
ROOTS, LULU LEMON, GAP, EDDIE BAUER to name a few.

On my list of things to buy this season was a new pair of Yoga pants in black and my first stop was LULU.
(my other Yoga LULU pants, in grey, look brand new and are probably about 8 years old)
The cost is higher than many brands but the value is beyond my humble expectations,
so naturally I went there first.

I ventured into the store leaving Mr.HB sitting on the teak bench outside happy to people watch.
It was a crazy busy scene inside the store and I felt like I could have been in the Robson Street location in Vancouver B.C....
Seriously not at all what I would expect for our quiet little city. (obviously I don't get out much!)
Thankfully they had lots of staff on to help customers and many change booths made for a speedy experience.

hair falling in my face bugs me no end

Mr. HB and I think their logo reminds us of Marlo Thomas's hair cut 

from the 1960's and 1970's when she starred in the TV series "That Girl"

I wore these when I watched a light hearted romantic comedy 

Ghost Girlfriends from the Past

with Matthew McConaughey.

I crave comfort when I am feeling weary or ill.

Cocooning at home wearing comfy clothes stretched out on the couch under a cozy blanket

is so soothing.

Just want to say I am prepping the food for our Thanksgiving dinner.

Turkey ~ Veggies ~ Crustless Pumpkin Pie

and more.

I'll be boiling the carcass and making soup as soon as possible.

Happy Thanksgiving!
