A day in a chapter of our new life
It was Saturday morning and after breakfast I thought it would
do both of us good to just “Escape” .
So, I returned dishes
to the neighbors who had treated us with goodies and then the car seemed to
head toward the mall.
I had Darrell’s new phone with me, ready to be
activated. ( He had been using the phone
I had given up about three years ago. Maybe more. Damon found a cheap replacement online, so he finally consented to “upgrading” ) Quick and easy. Thanks Verizon.
A little walk around
the mall and discovered there was a sale going on. Shoe sale.
This is something I know pretty well.
No flats. No platforms. No
pooinnnted toes. Didn’t take long to
find two pair that fit the right description.
I admit I should not
go into Papyrus. That was my first
mistake. The sign said 40% off. My purchases will make nice gifts ( for me
or you ).
You can get hungry
shopping so I stopped at the Grill.
Courtney gave me fast service and sympathy. Hard not to chat with the waitress when you are alone. She was pretty wild eyed with my story. She
even brought me a large stack of plastic
bags. I did not tell her that I needed the HUGE
GARBAGE size to cover all Darrell’s leg, so he won’t get it wet in the shower
. But I did leave her a nice tip.
Time flies when you are having fun. And I thought I better get back to home
base. Christian and Tanner came for a
visit and stayed for supper. I do not
need to write about how adorable Tanner is – you should know that by now.
Our friends Matt and Ellie Sheer are leaving for
Indonesia soon and a farewell open house
was scheduled for this
evening. I headed to Westminster to give
them my good wishes and was able to load up a plate with at least 7 different
treats for Darrell ( or me ). An amazing
family, on an amazing journey
It just happened that a wedding was breaking up in the church. I peeked into the reception door. So beautiful .
So tempting. I knew my kids would
be a little embarrassed if I took my camera in for photos, especially since I
was dressed very casually in rather bright yellow pants and rust colored
jacket. So I just turned around and paused by a table with pictures of the
bride and groom. Also, a very cute
suitcase was open, with little wedding favors inside. I was positive my kids would be embarrassed
if I gave one to myself. They will be happy to know, I was good. While heading back out to the car, there
on the ground… one of the favors ! So
lonely and cute. So I now have my own
little mesh bag with a tea bag, sugar stick and tied with a pok dot ribbon to
add to my collection.
I do not like to pump gas, But I did it all by myself. Picked out a pie to bring to lunch tomorrow
and then one last stop at Bartell’s .
Tully’s coffee on sale. Home.
Many little chores waiting for me. Some things wait for you.
Goodnight to the patient
