walmart: Visit Crystal Bridges in Bentonville but don't forget to go to the Dime Store. - 05/04/12 02:15 PM
As a child I wanted to go to the "Dime Store."  Perhaps it was called a five and 10 cent store but to me and my kin it was the Dime Store. 
I could go in there with one dime and find many items that would please me. 
In Arkansas we now have the famous Crystal Bridges Art Museum in Bentonville AR.  I absolutely insisted that Hubby take me up there to see all the art work.  He didn't object too strongly because he likes the drive in North Arkansas.  Even he was delighted with the new museum.

walmart: Before Wal-Mart in Searcy Arkansas there was Magic Mart! A look back..... - 09/04/10 10:01 PM

walmart: Now that is high tech and organized, both Wal-Mart and Amazon.com. - 10/14/08 09:34 AM

He whined and said he guessed he'd have to go out there himself and see if they had any.  I suggested that I just order him some.   He jumped at that idea.

walmart: Casual musings while in the grocery store. - 10/06/08 07:18 AM
We're out of everything and when we're out of everything I try to go the Wal-Mart Super Store to stock up.  I go early in the morning before the crowds arrive.  Yesterday, as I shopped it made an impression on me once again how there were no happy faces!  All my shopping buddies looked just like me....pained. OMG....this cheese last week was $3.78 and now it is $4.88!  OMG....they think this little tub of butter that is not real butter is worth $2.50! Lemons are 59 cents each!  I can do without those. This tomato juice has gone up from $2.32 to … (26 comments)
