Hocus Pocus

I put Katherine in charge of the title for this post.

On Saturday (yesterday) Katherine took me to a place in West Jordan called Gardner Village. It is a pretty neat little outdoor shopping center with a lot of craft and home decor type shops. What is cool about it though, is that around Halloween they have some more festive events. Friday and Saturday were their "Witches night out" days, when they invite all the ladies 18 and up to come out dressed as witches. Katherine was unaware of this fact, and needless to say I felt a little out of place. I wasn't the only male there, but we were definitely outnumbered.


Katherine's favorite place was a little knitting shop she found, with all kinds of fancy yarns and other knitting paraphernalia. I got a little sick of the woman standing outside with a microphone inviting all the passersby to "Cackle for a Coupon." It was really annoying.

On the way home we had a little trouble finding the interstate. Katherine was navigating, and had hoped to leave early enough to make it over to Tai Pan Trading. Somehow after wandering around somewhere in West Jordan we randomly showed up at the doorstep of... Tai Pan Trading. It was Katherine's Christmas Miracle. A little early this year.

Anyways, it was fun. We saw a lot of nice stuff that we couldn't afford, and got to look at a bunch of crazy women dressed up in various witches costumes. If you live in the area and get bored one night you can go check it out.
