Shop ‘til You Drop...

With Maria Tennariello

Now that I drive a Jeep again, I couldn’t wait for the snow to fall. I was so excited when I heard that we were going to be bombarded with that white, wet stuff that I kept the engine warm, ready to go out and fight the snow to finally get out of my driveway, get to work and do my shopping. To my disappointment, there wasn’t enough snow to test the wheels of my Liberty. I flew out the driveway without having to so much as engage the four-wheel drive. Oh well, next year I hope. Let’s do some shopping!
