Thursday, Taking Hubby to the store.

I wish mom and I looked this good!
     Mom and I went out yesterday after I felt that all my clients had shown up and we bought a few fresh things at the grocery store.  I had to pick up a prescription and find some cold sore medication.  I don't think I have had a bad cold sore in 25 years, but here it is.  Mom's wheel chair is a a blessing as I was able to get her through 3 stores easily.  Then we came home to make dinner. (brinner)

     I still needed to go to Wal-mart for copper polish, and receipt books for the shop.  Mom stayed home and Hub's went with me.  They did not have copper polish and I bought something called TarnX (it doesn't work) that I will be returning.  Hubs wanted to go to the garden department, and I thought nothing of it.  Dumb me.  He found a hose caddy that we needed as the one on the back deck had died last fall.  Then he saw chain saw chains and the 14 inch saw needed a new chain.  It is the small one he uses the most and a dull saw is very dangerous so in the cart those went. Then we saw the seed potatoes and onion sets, which I bought way too late last year so we picked those up.  I also bought seeds to start and some seedling soil.  We added some tomatoes, a sack of lemons and some rice krispies for marshmallow treats.  Upon leaving we had a bill of $141.00.  Now it is not like we didn't need these things but I had not planned on spending that much money.

     After I get done sewing today I am going to make some cookie dough for cut out shamrocks.  Also
some rice krispie treats.   Then mom and I are going to plant wheat for Easter grass and start my seeds for the garden.
Mom will enjoy these activities.  She can also take

some of the frosted cookies to church on Sunday.


Well if I want to have any fun today I had better get my butt into the shop.









Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.

  1. I really hate it when I do need everything I put into my cart. I am sure your stress level is lower with the wheelchair. Do you know what causes your cold sores? I thought I had a cold sore several times. My doctor assured me it was an allergy not a cold sore. ???

    1. Usually stress, or a high fever. I had a high fever with the flu.

    2. My lips peel with/after a fever. It is so annoying as it goes for weeks after the fever. I hear stress brings on cold sores, aka fever blisters.

    1. We got a really light one, but it is still some work to get it n and out. I am careful.

  3. We actually stopped going to Walmart for that very reason. It's not that we didn't need or couldn't use the things we bought--it's just that it cost a fortune every single time. Also, our young (at the time) daughter hated Walmart so much that she would cry and scream the entire time we were there. It wore us out and cured us of Walmart. So, we may go there once or twice a year now, and that's all.

    1. Well I don't really but mom loves it and I do try to do something to entertain her at least every other day. She is so isolated and bored.

    1. I am not a fan of Wal-mart for many reasons but in this small area you just have to go there once in a while.
