A Long Day

Quite the long day, and if I don’t keep my fingers in the correct spot, I will delete this post like I just did the one that was ready to publish. There are still some items on this new laptop that give me a surprise now and then. . . .  Before Christmas we dropped off a pair of earrings at Stone’s Throw in St. Peter with us picking it up after the first of the year. Today was the day!  Years back when I was with Dennis at a trade show, these earrings caught my eye. The Zuni Indian Tribe sets much of their turquoise in what is called the Needlepoint design. The multiple small sterling clips set the stone. The clip on of back of the earrings were not comfortable. The white gold wires will allow me to enjoy them so much more. She did a great job cleaning the sterling that the stones are set in. From there we went on to Jiffy Lube to have the car serviced, then to Jo-Ann Fabric. With Dennis’ feet being wet 24/7 while serving the Army in Korea, what would feel better than giving us a treat of pedicures? My hands and arms don’t serve me all that well to get the right angle on the fi-dangle for doing my toe nails. After Hy-Vee was gone through and then on to Sam’s Club for our last stop. Dennis is an aficionado when it comes to litter for the five cat’s litter box in the garage porch. Sam’s Club is his favorite place for the cat shopping, and I don’t mind picking up a few things to replenish our pantry in the basement. We topped off the day with a bite to eat in Perkins. We are now safe in our home . . . all the groceries are put away and being in PJs feels pretty good.  Driving into the driveway our favorite UPS fellow had left a package at the back door. Tomorrow I will be in the sewing studio with said package, and I am anticipating a turn around in the mail the first part of next week. Yup, This was a huge day for the older ones on Stauffer Avenue.
