Spring is almost here. Maybe you've been thinking about doing some shopping and getting some new clothes that fit better, or are just looking for a new 'look'. There's nothing better than going to the mall to look around in nice indoor, climate-controlled comfort. Where there are plenty of sitting areas to take a break, plenty of places in the food court to grab a bite or a quick drink. I'm a kid of the '80s so I Love going to the mall. And we are fortunate here in West Texas to have a couple of really nice ones. Here's the thing though: if you're going, there are some RULES that are unspoken that you'll need to keep in mind. No, they won't be anything that will be enforced by Paul Blart, Mall Cop cruising the corridors on his Segway. But the rest of the world will appreciate you for following along.

It's always a big topic of discussion whenever there are plans for family members to come and visit for a weekend or longer: What are we going to do with them while they are here??. The answers can vary based on several criteria. What are their interests? Are they Museum People? Do they like to eat out and try local restaurants and establishments to get a local flavor, or stick with the chain places we have here that they also have back home? Do they like to shop? So many variables to consider when working out a plan to entertain people who don't live here. It also matters if they've been here to visit prior to this time or not-and what you did before when they were here if they have.
