Today was errand day for us. Quincy usually doesn’t like to go and do errands any more, but we had a bunch of stuff to get done in Bangor. One of the things I wanted to do was check the L.L. Bean outlet for a new backpack for him. The one he has now is more of a hiking backpack and doesn’t hold a lot of stuff real easily.
They had lots of backpacks. I checked the ones that were returned since that’s where you save the money, but in the case of backpacks, the returned ones were all monogrammed. I gave a quick glance at some of them, but gave up until Dara and Quincy came over to look at them. I then did a more thorough examination of the greens ones, and lo and behold, I found one that was monogrammed Quinn. Now, what are the odds of that? Not only did we save ten bucks on the pack, we then had a very, very happy boy with us the rest of the day. He’s so excited to take his bag to school on Monday. So just because you might have a unique or less common name, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look for it on returned items!
