Great ‘Girl’s’ Time!
I called Cindy yesterday to to come up and go shopping with me. Sometimes younger arms are a blessing for reaching, lifting, and pushing a cart with way to much stuff in it. Besides I miss her and it was a good excuse for ‘the girls’ to get together. Oh and shop we did! On a small clip board I had a list for Sam’s Club which turned out to be 24 items and a shock to the (as my old friend used to say) pocketbook. Everything from Scotch Tape and printer ink to pork loin and potato chips in the vending size bags. (These bag kinda remind you to eat just so many and they stay fresh longer.)
I also wanted to see the new highlights in my daughter’s hair.
She was going to go on vacation but the friend she was traveling to visit got sick so she stayed home instead. But she did get a change to get her truck and herself ready to go before she canceled.
After Sam’s we went to Michael’s because they had Homespun yarn on sale.
This is what Jay’s new afghan will be made from. That is as soon as I get the sleeves on my sweater done and sew it all together. Speaking of sweater we looked at Michael’s for buttons for said item and found nothing but novelty types so we gave up and went to lunch at Red Robin. Giant Hamburgers with tomato, lettuce, cheese. and pineapple plus big steak fries filled the bill (and the tummy too). It was pushing 7 pm then so we headed back in.
In Clio we stopped at JoAnn’s Fabric and pick up the seven buttons I needed then went four doors down to ACO for a Bar-B-Q grill cover and a new brass bristle brush for cleanup. We joked about it getting dark and how our mothers used to say to come home when the street lights came on. Of course my Mom is dead now and Cindy was with her mom so it was a kind of joke.
When we got back home Jay, she, and I unloaded the truck. Now the things that would normally go down to the food room are still sitting in the kitchen but I’ll reload the truck and drive them down to be put away this morning. Cindy went to pick up David from work and go to her home but we had to admit we had a great ‘girl’s time’ together.
