BABYSAT our youngest Grandson. Oh the joys of listening to nursery rhymes with a grandson. At two he played so nicely. Great fun to watch him and play as well. We brought with us a farm coloring book, crayons, an old Fisher Price Circus Train inside a vinyl tub, a couple of pocket cars, two action figures, V-Tech Alphabet Town toy, a small wooden picnic table toy and some tiny dishes. He favored the cars and the V-Tech Alphabet Town toy. This one plays songs with his favorite being Old MacDonald had a Farm...eieioooooo. He loved it. Absolutely loved it.
I think he pushed the O button 50 times to listen to the song as I sang to him the lyrics. This is a time to enjoy nursery rhyme songs from the past and watch a grandchild enjoy them as well. He loves music and cars. A super combination.
After babysitting, we went to LUNCH at McALISTERS in Manhattan, Kansas. Berry and Pecan Salad with Raspberry Vinaigrette for my lunch. Water.
Fatigue came on so we sat at the City Park to take a short nap in the car before going to the Barber Shop for Hubby's haircut. He dropped me off at HOBBY LOBBY so I could look while he got a haircut. 66% off Easter decor so I took advantage of it.
Bought a 3' standing white bunny made out of wood for our porch, a white rabbit for the bathroom vanity, 2 green grass covered bunnies for future use. Thrilled about the discount.
He is now my SPRING RABBIT that will grace the vanity countertop until deemed necessary to change out for something else.
THESE LITTLE GRASS COVERED BUNNIES WERE PURCHASED AT A VERY LOW PRICE. I had been eye balling them for a few months and now they iz HOME. I don't feel uncomfortable about what price I paid. 66% off is more in lines with what they should have been priced at in the first place.
Off we went to a coffee shop for a refreshing beverage. A Miss Beatrice is what I had which is a Blackberry Tea and Honey Latte. It was quite good, but this was truly a SPLURGE at $7.2o. My eyes bugged out when I asked my Husband what it cost. Too expensive, but I wanted to go to a COFFEE SHOP where we actually sat indoors sipping something HOT on this chilly day. A bit too cold outside for my liking especially when the wind blows. We sat comfortably indoors chatting inside a cute local coffee shop taking in the surrounding atmosphere as two older Americans sipping their beverage.
Off to WALMART. I picked out some clothing for SPRING. I didn't try anything on, but will at HOME. A denim jump suit, a pair of capri jeans, bright pink blouse. Clearance racks were full of discounted items which help to stretch the dollars spent. As I switch out clothing items in my small closet and add to my wardrobe, I'd like to add some brighter colors to it. The capri jeans I have now are beginning to show signs of wear. When holes appear on the thighs, I guess I will just be styling with the holes in jeans look. I'd prefer not to have holes as that's just not me yet. I can't stay up with the times as they are always changing and I don't.
We'd been looking for a wagon to use for TRACK MEETS. Hubby found one at a good price to haul 2 sitting chairs, ice chest and blankets to the TRACK MEETS. Better to use a wagon than carry all this stuff.
Epsom salts. I'm going to soak my feet in Epsom salts and water to see if this helps with swollen feet. Walmart's epsom salt only came in one size. A 8 pound bag. The epsom salts ought to last awhile being in a 8 pound bag. The wonders of going a more natural route when dealing with health issues.
More of this to follow in life's journey.
I couldn't read the labels on things so it was awkward shopping, but I still had a great time. It felt good to get out and do some looking.
