Christi's Creative Crew: Silly Saturday

This past week has been so much fun! It always is when my sister, Lynette, comes in from South Jersey for a visit. Lynette is only 3 years older than me (I'm the baby) so we are probably the most alike.
She arrived on Monday afternoon and then on Tuesday we (Mom, Dad, Judy and I) headed up to Grant where our fourth sister, Vicky, works and just bought a home. We are so happy for them as they have been staying with her in-laws to help them out for several years now. (She really has the best heart of all of us). If you have watched my blog for some time now, Vicky is the one that crushed her knee in a simple fall, had surgery to bolt it together and then in the last 4-6 weeks had a knee replacement. We were amazed how well she is doing, she doesn't even walk with a limp!
We saw this sign for a junky little store and had to stop (even though the store was not open) to get this picture. This was the only day that all 4 sisters could be together. We are standing by age: Judy, Vicky, Lynette and myself.

Wednesday was a fun afternoon that Lynette and I had a chance to go the mall. You see, she got Dale and I hooked on watching an old TV show on Netflix called CHUCK which ran from 2007-2012.

This is what Wikipedia says about it...

Chuck is an American action-comedy/spy-drama television series created by Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak. The series is about an "average computer-whiz-next-door" named Chuck, played by Zachary Levi, who receives an encoded e-mail from an old college friend now working for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). The message embeds the only remaining copy of a software program containing the United States' greatest spy secrets into Chuck's brain.

We have had so much fun watching this show, not sure why we never watched it when it was on TV, but thanks to Netflix we are able to watch it now. If you haven't seen it, you should give it a try.
Anyway...Chuck wears these black Converse shoes with everything. At first I thought it was a bit different, but it really fit his NERD HERD persona on the show. Lynette and I decided that we NEEDED to get a pair of CHUCK shoes. So on Wednesday we hit the mall to find some CHUCK shoes. What a blast when we went into TRADEHOME shoe store where they have the greatest sales guys EVER! Low and behold our sales guy was: wait for it: CHUCK!! we laughed so hard! He fit us with some CHUCK shoes, but of course we had to go to EVERY other store in the mall to make sure we got a good price, but when it came right down to it, these were the best and we LOVED our Chuck! He even put on a pair of Chuck shoes and had his picture taken with us.

We decided that Lynette was going to buy me a pair for my birthday and I would buy her a pair for her birthday (next week) - this makes them even more special!!

The store manager gave me his email address and asked me to send him the photo - how fun is that!! We actually had all the shoppers in that little store laughing and joining in on our fun!
Back to CHUCK! His character is played by Zachary Levi

and like I said, he always wore these shoes. This is him with his buddy, Morgan.

You might remember Zachary Levi in ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS THE SQUEAKQUEL as Toby Seville. (2009)
Head on over to NETFLIX to give CHUCK a try - see, there are those shoes again!!
