Goodwill

There is now a Goodwill Store in the town nearest to us. Martin inexplicably loves to go there. He chose this seersucker shirt that he loves for $2.00.

He searches through the racks and finds brand-name shirts like Polo, Gap, etc. He came home all excited because one of his close friends, who's quite well off, shops there also.

However Martin has succumed to the influence of his big brothers who wear T-shirts or undershirts under their nice shirts...doubling my wash load. I guess though that they make up for that by basically going shirtless all summer.

Martin is leaning over my shoulder as I type this approving the wording and asking that I point out that he is now 11 1/2 years old.
