Who doesn’t love a great shopping trip? The ladies of Women On Our Own (WOOO) Day Trippers recently enjoyed a great spring day at the Mesa Marketplace Swap Meet displaying every item imaginable. This marketplace is housed in four, block-long open air tents that featured metal, rock, wood, and glass art; women, mens, and children’s clothing and shoes; toys and bikes; and live performances by “Elvis” and other guitar entertainers. Food booths of hamburgers, hot dogs, onion rings, salads, sodas, water, wines and beers allowed shoppers to enjoy a full day at this huge venue.
The WOOO ladies spent time at the Tiger Lily clothing shop taking advantage of our 30% discounts. Gloria Peterson was able to find a toy vendor selling one-inch plastic train locomotives used when playing Mexican Train back in Saddlebrooke.
Ladened with bags of treasures we could (or couldn’t) have lived without, the Day Trippers of WOOO traveled back home, enjoying lively conversations in our cars with smiles and laughter shared with friends, old and new.
If you are a single woman who is not in a committed relationship living in Saddlebrooke and are interested in learning more about or joining Women On Our Own, call our president, Brenda McBride at (267) 968-3894 or send an email to bmcb.ret@gmail.com.
