St. Patrick's Day (Part 1)

My brother Bob and I walked to State Road to catch the bus to Parmatown Mall because the coordination between the #35 (Broadview Road) and #20 (State Road) buses on Sunday is not very good!  We also wanted to avoid the early St. Patrick's Day crowd.  We made our bus!

Our first stop was supposed to be the Mr. Hero on Day Drive, but it opens at Noon on Sundays!  Despite being there about two minutes before opening, Bob decided to go to the Toys 'R' Us behind the Mr. Hero!  I did not like that idea!  After spending some time browsing, we finally showed up at the Mr. Hero.  We were initially overcharged because the computer initially didn't accept the second order with the coupon, but it was straightened out!  We both had 7" Chicken, Bacon, and Ranch subs, Waffer Fries, and soda!  As far as I was concerned, the food was up to the usual standards.

After lunch, we crossed the street to patronize the mall.  We browsed in Dick's Sporting Goods, Wal Mart, and JcPenney!  The Food court was visited so we could see if there were any new tenants.  The mall is still not that exciting.

After we exited the mall, we crossed Day Drive to go to Giant Eagle.  We then went to PetsMart, Kohl's, and Target.  Our only purchases came from Giant Eagle!  I bought a book of stamps and some lottery tickets. 

We then took the bus to visit Honey Hut Ice Cream because it was Opening Day!  Once again, we ran into Bruce Page!  As a result, we received our Ice Cream for Free.  Bruce even threw in a pint of what I believe is Maple Walnut Ice Cream, their newest flavor.  Since it was too cold to eat the ice cream at one of Honey Hut's outdoor tables, we walked home with our ice cream which we ate later that evening. 

We returned a call from our sister Maggie, inviting us to St. Patrick's Day dinner at her house!

My next Post will give all the details about dinner and our late night snack.
