To the Store

I am not a shopper.  I'm a buyer, but not a shopper.  I cannot go into a store and just walk around, cannot go to a mall to "window shop."  There are two exceptions: yarn and cowboy boots.  Those I can look at for good whiles.  Otherwise, I only go into a store if I know what I'm going to get.  I get it, maaaybe pick up some other stuff if I happen across it, then get out.

Today I went to Barnes & Noble looking for a jigsaw puzzle.  Hannah had been working on one the last time I went to see her, and I've had that bee in my bonnet ever since,  I had already been to a couple of other places I thought might have puzzles, but to no avail.  Are Hannah and I the only ones who work puzzles anymore?  I did muster the patience to go through all the shelves, and this is the one I brought home:

ANYway, I went to the crafts section of Magazines, and. . .  What has happened to knitting magazines?  Only Interweave and Noro were on the shelf.  Now, B&N honestly is the only place in town I know of that stocks knitting magazines on the regular, and I hope this isn't a permanent state.  Do most of you still have access to knitting magazines?

I can get patterns I want individually, and the general blah blah blah that magazines do in addition to patterns isn't really of interest to me. So no I don't do magazines any more twinnie, sorry.

I meant to tell you that there are tons of puzzles in two toy shops up here in Lake Geneva. IF you could what kind of scene would you pick?
