THURSDAY THRIFT INCLUDED A TRIP TO A SMALL SHOP IN WAMEGO, KANSAS. I just about forgot to stop in after telling Hubby that I'd like to go there today while we were out and about. He reminded me and I laughed out loud that he reminded me as I am the one that has the thrift bug and want to shop.
They had a good looking Men's dress shirt in the window for $5 just my hubby's size. We brought it HOME with us. I wanted to look at little boys clothing size 4T the other day when we were in Topeka, but forgot so I shopped in Wamego instead and came away with a nice selection of THRIFT shirts for our lil GRAND. I purchased 14 articles including one brand new tank top, a nice looking shirt that could be worn for EASTER, a swim top, nice jumping beans t-shirts and baseball shirt. They should look great on him with his light colored blonde hair and blue eyes.
Our day started early as I had a eye appointment for a one week follow-up on cataract surgery and I'm healing nicely. 20/20 vision in right eye. It is amazing. I am ready to have this behind me. In a few days, I will start over with the left eye. No leaning over or picking things up that weigh more than 10 pounds.
I needed to pick up new meds from the pharmacy for the left eye surgery. Two types of drops spending close to $89.oo. Not cheap, but well worth it in the long run. They're needed. Expense out of pocket can hit hard at times. I know our thyroid meds are expensive and insurance will not touch them as they are a natural medication.
We drove over to Manhattan for lunch as I told my hubby that he deserved a STEAK for raking the front yard and cleaning the curb tree trash out so we went to LONGHORN so he could get his STEAK. A great motivator for him is to be rewarded with a steak dinner. He deserves so much as much as he does around our estate. Steak is his love language.
After Lunch, I walked across the parking lot to Hy-Vee for Peanut Butter, radishes and green onions. I purchased SMUCKER's PEANUT BUTTER that is only peanuts and a dash of salt. I did not want any PB with additives and they definitely have a large selection full of additives. I am working at reading labels and being more selective about what I buy. I have a hunch that it is all these additives and chemicals that is added into foods that's making people OBESE, run down and sickly. I feel better when I eat lots of veggies. I can actually tell I feel so much better. Studying up about MSGs and how it stops the brain from identifying leptin which tells the brain when one is full. We overeat and do not fill up when eating foods with MSGs. More on this later.
From the grocery store, we went for our STARBUCKS and onto WALMART. I just wanted to look around to be looking around and to look at MATERIAL. I picked up a pretty dress for under $20.oo. From Manhattan, we drove over to one of our storage units and loaded a few things into the back of the car to get them out of the unit. One of the tubs, that was there had EASTER BUNNIES, plastic eggs and a table runner in it. I loaded it into the backseat to take HOME. Packed a large box full of our things to take to the Thrift Shop to donate.
THRIFT FIND at the thrift shop was a Longaberger basket for $2.oo. Love it! Glad to have it. Will fill with Easter grass and plastic eggs. I know bunnies don't lay eggs, but I like having bunnies in my HOME to remind me that SPRING is present. God made real rabbits and I give HIM the praise for creating cotton tails and rabbits for the season. Jesus is the reason for this Resurrection Season and I praise HIM for all HE has done for mankind to save our souls and give us a way to be in a rightful relationship with Almighty God through Jesus's death, burial and resurrection.
From here we went to the THRIFT STORE to shop, make a donation drop then went to the car parts store for Deer Whistles. Off to HOME we went. Stopped off to drop the bag of thrift shirts for our GRAND. He greeted us by waving at us. When he heard Grandma had some clothes for him, he was ready to try some on. The clothes fit and I was a HAPPY CAMPER. He is so cute.
Off to the Post Office for mail then HOME. Unloaded our goods and decorated the old walnut dresser in the Living room for Easter with ceramic bunnies. Placed some on the old sideboard and the rectangular Parlour table. I won't be doing very much decorating this year and I'm fine with this. For now, this will do well.
I remember that my Colorado Grandparents treated me with a Birthday card until I graduated from High School. Each year inside the card were two dollars. I could count on it. After I graduated, the cards and cash stopped. I'm ashamed to say that I never sent them Birthday cards or gifts. That doesn't ride very well for me as an old lady. I should have sent them cards and gifts. Shame on me. I am sorry I didn't do this as I should have. I remembered them at Christmas. I am sorry I did so little for them. Very sorry.
I believe I had best get the EASTER GREETING CARDS I have filled out and placed in the mail. I'll work on this on Friday and hopefully on Saturday I'll get some boxes in the mail. I need to work up a box for my Mom.
SPRING IS HERE and Easter isn't far off. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise him above, ye heavenly host. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
