Suitcases

Shirley loved buying "adorable things" particularly while traveling. Our trips for several years always included trips to department stores to buy an extra suitcase to cart home all her loot. I recall counting 30 suitcases once in her garage before she began donating some to chariites. Once I suggested that she just bring an empty suitcase on her out bound flight. This was years before the airlines began charging for baggage so I thought it sensible.

"I can't do that. It would undermine my shopping discipline," she explained.
