Dover Mall

Me at Macy's at the Dover Mall yesterday - HOME!

Back to something light again today folks.  My last posting was purging my system of some heavy thoughts.  Now that I have that out of the way, I'm back to the light fare.

We're having just some beautiful days here in southern Delaware.  Granted, we could use some rain.  The lack of rain, the wind and the heavy pollen count is producing some breathing problems here at Casa Tipton-Kelly.

Yesterday was Chore Day.  I had to take my 2010 Red Subaru Forester for a gas and oil change, tire rotation and checkup at the Dover Subaru Auto Mall.  I'm going to give a mini-commercial for Dover Subaru.  They have the BEST service department I've ever dealt with in my life, absolutely the best!  I'm used to surly or at best indifferent service from dealerships that I've dealt with in the past.  Let me tell you dealing with Dover Subaru is a very pleasant experience.  They know what service is about.  From the time I walked in and was greeted with a genuine smile from "Jimmy" from behind the service desk until I picked up my sparkling clean car about an hour later, the whole process was pleasant and NOT EXPENSIVE.  Their good customer service must emanate from the top.  Other businesses could learn from them.

My appointment was as 9:00 a.m.  Jimmy told me it would be about an hour wait so Bill and I took a walk over to the Dover Mall.  The mall didn't open until 10 a.m. but we could walk around inside.  Below are some pictures I took with appropriate captions.  By the way, Bill hates for me to take his picture so all of the pictures I took of him were unposed.  He's not going to be thrilled that I posted them on this blog but I  can deal with that (I think).

Yep, that's me.  You didn't think I would post pictures of my blog without at least a couple of me did you?

What the mall looks like before it opens, only old people walking the halls getting their morning exercise

Bill patiently waiting for the mall to open - he eventually got chased away from this stool when the guy who owns the booth showed up - OOPS!

A window display of women's casual clothes - let me tell you that as a gay man looking at this hot outfit for a woman, I actually felt faint "stirrings" - OMG - maybe I'm not 100% gay!  But then I came back to reality because there is no woman on earth who has this kind of bod....is there?

Bill is drawn to Radio Shack like a magnet.  Put him in any mall and he'll find the Radio Shack store in minutes.

Me taking a picture of myself on the TV monitor - I've always been fascinated by these TV monitors in the window of stores that I pass in the mall - fascinated!

An empty food court at the Mall - won't stay that way for long!

J.C. Penney - yes, I made a purchase there yesterday.  I never go into a J. C. Penney's without making a purchase.  Thanks Ellen!
