I had never heard the phrase "day out" until the Wallace & Gromit movie, A Grand Day Out. Well, today my daughter and I are going to have one. I don't know how long it has been since we went "clothes shopping" together, but we're going today!

Thank you for your birthday wishes!! I just love Wallace and Grommit and I hope you have a fun day out with your daughter!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, we have a 'day out' here in England and visit a stately home, or go for a walk at the coast, go shopping etc. What would call it in the USA? Have a lovely day anyway.
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to the phrase, "retail therapy"! :)
ReplyDeleteNan: I saw that you visited me in RI at 'Ledge and Gardens' so I came over to see you! The day out sounds like fun although I do remember shopping with my daughter was more trying than fun as we have very different taste but we do 'do lunch' together very well! Love the corn recipe and I will have to try that as the new batch is just about ready! What state are you gardening in?
ReplyDeleteMy daughters and I always had a day out right before school started. It involved the mall of course, but the best part was lunch. When they were teenagers the lunches were a little more expensive in nicer places than a fast food restaurant. They enjoyed the time with their mom as I did with them. To this day, I have an urge to gather them together and "do lunch" at the end of summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks to each of you for the wonderful comments. We were going to eat at a new Indian restaurant but we were too early for dinner, so we're planning to go down another time and bring Tom. :<) I guess over here we just say, "we're going shopping, or we're going to the ocean, or we're going on a garden tour" but I greatly, greatly prefer a "day out" and it is now part of my vocabulary. :<) Madre Karin, how we laughed at the cheese.
