OKAY. Spontaneous trip to MENARDS after exercise class. I actually wasn't completely worn out today. That's good.
I thought I'd go to the track to walk after exercising, but HUNY wasn't working on the porch when I drove by the house to let him know my plans. So I honked the car's horn to get his attention as I figured he'd be in the living room resting to tell him I was going walking at the track. I didn't have my phone so this was the next best thing.
Sticking his head out the front door, I asked him what he was doing? He was taking a break. SOOO I changed my mind about walking and asked him if he wanted to go to MENARDS for more cement as he had said earlier he needed more. He hopped in the car and away we went. I had no shame going to town in my sweat pants and Tee-shirt. If I had added some pearls I might have looked a bit out of place. grins.
FIRST, we had LUNCH in Manhattan because we had not eaten yet. CHICK-fil-A salad for me. I suppose I thought it was so good because of the MSG that they use. oops. I fell for it. We ate in the MENARDS Parking lot. Weather was super nice. Shopping to follow. I enjoyed looking at their beautiful Mums. CONCRETE picked up.
CHRISTMAS DECOR are on display at MENARDS. Alrighty then. I blinked and it is CHRISTMAS again. My eyes bugged out. Halloween and Fall Harvest items are out, but this seems like a good time for this.
Pleasant trip HOME and I'm resting. Tonight I will wipe the walls down in the pink bedroom and walk the buffet across the room so the area in front of the hole in the wall has a clear path to it. Think this week-end that we will go back to MENARDS and get the sheetrock to fill in the hole. Rejoicing that I will be closer to having swapped the pink room out!
Even with the house in a up roar, I need to be enjoying the remodeling and I have not been in my HAPPY PLACE for a while. Enjoy the journey. I'm trying. I get down sometimes that this is where I am at being 70 years old. I wish it were already finished. Praying for revival in my soul. Let the good times roll.
HAPPY FRIDAY as the month disappears. September meant our daughter-in-law celebrated her 48th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHELL!!!
We traveled to see my Mom in Des Moines, porch rebuilding started, and furniture shuffling taking place. Holiday decorating will not happen as the porch is torn up, but I can aim for CHRISTMAS decorating come December 1st. Hopefully I will get to decorate the porch then and I need to be gathering ideas for what to do.
BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS. Let LIFE be a happy journey where peace and grace are found. Amen.
