HIS GREAT GRANDFATHER'S HAT and THRIFTING

A VERY FULL AND PRODUCTIVE DAY we had on Tuesday.   It was like a SPRING DAY.  So beautiful.  We did our morning chores before loading up the car to drive to TOPEKA, but first company.  

I finished exchanging all the hangers in the closet this morning on our clothing.  I had overlooked the hanging bluejeans on a lower rack still hanging on gray plastics hangers.  Switched them out with the new velvet hangers.  Whaalah...done.  So glad to have this behind me.  SO VERY GLAD!!!

That felt great to be able to say, I'm done with this project. 

G R E A T.  It took me a while, but I got 'er done.  Hubby went to clean the car out, vacuum it and pick up the mail while finishing my chores and get dressed for the day.

There was knock on the door.  Wearing his Great Grandfather's hat was our 3 year old grandson.  If his Great Grandfather had seen him wearing his hat, he'd been all smiles.

Lil Dude came over to show us how he can ride his bike.

My husband told him he wanted a picture of him.  

He started working the camera.

Watched him ride his bike.  He did well.

We had a sweet visit.

GOOD NEWS.  A few weeks ago I took one of my son's drawings and had a tee-shirt made with the design on it.  After I received the finished tee, I mailed it to him.  He was pleased with it.  I thought it turned out nice.  Think we'll do some more.  He loves tee-shirts.  Makes me smile knowing he was pleased with the shirt.

Needing some good news.

Heading to TOPEKA for business.  We ate lunch at FIRST WATCH.  I had a flavored drink with a Cobb Salad.  Hubby and I had a DATE.  Great conversation.

Next we went to a business that makes art prints.  Hubby is working at getting some prints made of his recent drawing.  This is the start of making a dream come true.

We had the best visit with the owner and not only learned about making prints, but we learned about her chickens.🐔

Off we went to GOD's STOREHOUSE for thrifting.  

A Depression glass dinner plate, an antique bowl from Germany,
2 Shamrock miniature Teddys, a large coffee cup, 2 pair of earrings, a 👛small purse, pewter bowl, copper scooper.  Felt accomplished with the purchases.  Gifted with a free winter scarf.

Shopped Natural Grocers.  Avocado Oil, organic ketchup, lemon, Kalamata Olives, grass fed beef liver supplements, Eternal Water, Willow & Sage magazine.

Off to SAMS for Wild Caught Salmon, tuna, canned chicken,
orange juice, bread, paper plates, yogurt, welcome mat.

THEN TO MICHAELS.  A wonderful surprise.  It's been a very long time since shopping at Michael's.  Gosh it was fun.  40% off all Easter things.  Topeka's store is supper nice. 

I picked up some faux eggs, material bunnies, faux daffodils to decorate a couple of wreaths I have.  Michaels decorated wreaths were still quite expensive even after 40% was taken off the price.

HEADED HOME.  SINCE IT WAS A DATE, Hubby wanted to get chili for supper so we went to a quaint restaurant to eat.  I checked Facebook to find out my cousin passed away at 6:30.  A few tears.  I feel for her children and especially her Husband.  LIFE IS SHORT. A vapor.  Eternity longer.  She is in heaven with no more suffering and at peace.  She will be seriously missed by many.  
Blessed to have her as a cousin.  Truly blessed.

After supper we went HOME unloaded our spoils and rested.

THINKING ABOUT TODAY. 

Hair needs a good shampoo and trim.  I'll do the Butterfly cut and the hair will have some layers to it.  Quick and easy.
We'll have lunch time company for Toasted Tuna sandwiches, 
🍎🍏apple and chips.  Water.
Laundry.  A walk.  The usual.  A sweet day.  Planning on having fun with the day.  It's up to me to make it sweet.

God bless and may you have peace,
