I was up out of bed on Monday, Dec.
10th at 6:45 to take advantage of the wee hour to finish yesterday’s
blog post. I got behind the proverbial 8 ball yesterday and neglected to begin
my post early, as is generally my habit. By the time I caught up on the full
day’s events, I was too tired to finish it. So, that put me out of my morning
walk. It looked like a partially cloudy day coming our way and a high of
68F/20C. When Clemson and Bill got up, we had our coffee and tea together.
With that done, I had a small project
to do for Rose. I walked down to the mailbox with paint and a brush in hand.
Something’s wrong with their mailbox. 132? Nope, that isn’t correct. She has
been searching for a stick-on O to no avail so asked if I would paint it on for
her. My paint job leaves a lot to be desired, sorry Rose, but this is after
only one coat. I’ll do another before we leave tomorrow. At least now, the mail
person won’t be confused. 😊

Back inside, Bill decided to have his
shower today and when he was almost done in the bathroom, I poached a couple of
eggs for breakfast. I haven’t made them for a while and they are a nice change.
We cleaned up dishes and then I got cleaned up and dressed to go shopping with
the girls. We’d planned on 9:30 – 10 so I had a bit of a break to start today’s
post. The boys are taking their (George’s) guns for some fun on the range.

Rose drove us downtown and we first
stopped at Kmart to check it out. It has been a couple of years since we’ve
been in one and it was fun. Pat found the pants that she loves and can only
find here. She couldn’t go wrong for $5.99. I found things I wasn’t expecting to find but
am very happy I did. The deals were awesome with clothes as low as $2.99 and we
all walked out with goodies in our bags. I directed Rose next to Chic Again,
the store that Donna and I found last year.

Was I surprised and pleased when the
pleasant shop owner recognized me from my previous visit. This is a consignment
store and only higher end clothing but if you look hard enough and take your
time, you find some beautiful items at some beautiful prices. If I was looking
for a dress for an occasion, this is where I’d want to shop. I found a couple
or three for around $14 to $26 that would have fallen into my bags.
On the way back, we stopped at Smith’s
and we each picked up a few food items before heading home. The guys had left
the range an hour or so earlier and, in a text, Bill informed me that they were
all taking a nap. Apparently, Rob has a new nickname now, Dead Eye. No matter,
they had fun shooting, something they’ve not done before. Unfortunately, Bill
forgot to get pictures so they’ll just have to do it again another time.

We gathered in the suite around 3:45
for Happy Hour and over the course of the next hour we all finally made a
decision about pizza for supper. We ordered from Dominos and that was a
challenge in itself so after I placed the order over the phone, Bill drove with
Rob and George downtown to pick it up rather than having it delivered. That
way, there were no delivery charges. It’s a long story.

We said goodnight and it was 9 o’clock.
As George teased, ‘the kids bedtime’. They are night hawks. This was a
wonderful day and a wonderful 5 days here on Kibbey Drive.
