Liz, doing all this in Chilliwack is fine, but what about blogging, calling your great friends for a laugh or two? Ok, I guess sitting on the bench downtown and people watching in the rain is fun too.

List and Sell (we get the same rain in Seattle) Gary @ RentonHomeFinder.com

oh, and penny candy was actually 5 for a penny...... course I am 5 years older than you.

Ha! Thats what I told her - then it was 5 or a penny - later it was a penny each - now its 5 pennies each! Great talking to you Gary ~ always enjoy your 'calm level headedness....;-)

And those are just Chilliwackian localism things .................the list is much longer - and thanks for starting off a new one for me! :-)

...Well #4 is certainly appealing to me !!!!!

Would love to check that place out !

Cheers Liz :o)

I love those penny candy stores. I take my son to one in Cedarburg. I give him a $5 and he thinks he is in Utopia. These shops look like a blast, and I would think one would have to come back many times again to see what they missed the first time.

This looks like a place where I could spend a long time browsing, and probably empty the cash in my wallet.

Hi Liz! I just love places like this! When we go to Pawley's Island in the summer, there is a shopping complex much like this and I prefer to go there--alone! I just get lost in looking at all of the unusual things, sample the desserts and just stroll through the shops at leisure. That's the only time all year I actually do that and it is SO refreshing!

GREAT Localism post Liz.

Liz--I remember penny candy. There were even a few options 2 for 1 cent. That brings back memories. Thanks. Like Debe I have been to Pawley's Island and probably shopped at the same complex. Guess I will have to visit her blog site. See you again.

Liz,

At first I thought you had photos of houses I have been inspecting. That is too familiar.

Liz, that candy shop is awesome, and I am turning myself right away into a child again. All beautiful places to go in your area.

Well Sheldon - then you must click on the link that leads to my post on it - you're sure to love it! ;-)

Too true Tom - sounds like YOU have a terrific relationship with you son:-)

Margaret - I find if I bring my camera I spend less money :-)

Thanks Debe! Now I'm going to have to google Pawley Island to find out what its all about ! :-)

Steven - Oops you thought it was a Rainy Days Inspection did you ? :-)

Gary - what is it with candy and little kids........and umm big kids? :-)
