K's Marvelous Monday!

Part of K's job this summer as an RA for the high school students is to plan programs for 5 evenings during this 5 week time the students are there.

She has taken those interested to a great bookstore for fashion magazines, a noodle restaurant, and the new ones to the grocery.

She had 20 students show up for the trip to the grocery so that was super attendance! (One got lost after much reassurance to K that she did know how to get back! Hmpf!! She got home safely anyway.)

Well, her planned program for this Monday was to visit the Thrift Store. She planned it for a Monday because it is Half-Price Day on Mondays. She made the extra effort to put a big poster in the lobby for them to see on their way to class in the morning. She put little messages on the doors of her floor of girls.

She waited to see who would show up.

Thirty kids came!!

She was soooo excited!

There were even several guys and most of the time it is a struggle to get the few guys on a program.

She divided them (with clear instructions) on the subway and then sent them back in 3 groups. No one got lost!! All but 3 bought something and some were wondering about their suitcase to go home.

K even found a very cute denim jacket. (She says I can't embroider on it! )

Finally Wednesday was a slightly-calmer day for her so I took the train in for a visit. All. by. myself!

We had a great lunch at Weber Grill (love lunch prices, too!) and then rode the subway to the neighborhood of fabric stores. We hit Fishman's and Vogue. Painful!
