Dennis and I have had an energized day. The eye checkup for Dennis was a good one, no new lens needed. Since last evening I have had a new order come in for a Minnesota Wild t-shirt quilt. Sixteen t-shirts are on my sewing tables waiting to be transformed. A repeat customer tells me they were happy with the Vikings quilt. I did my homework on the computer and found out what store in Mankato carried the licensed fabric line for sports. JoAnn Fabrics was our first stop. It doesn’t pay to have a 50% off on a single full priced item as everything in that store has some sort of discount. River City Quilts was our next stop for the backing and right off the bat, found a compatible fabric for the back at the 108″ wide choice.
Yesterday Carrie had brought along English Cucumbers for a finger food. Dennis raved about them. Crisp and flavorful . . . he began talking about creamed cucumbers in February. Three of them came home with us from Hy-Vee. That will be on the list for tomorrow’s food options.
A stop at Sam’s Club for essentials and we were ready to relax and have a sandwich. Culver’s was our choice. Man, it was great driving home with a window cracked and the sun in our eyes. I have just stashed all the purchased items where they belong and I am pooped.
Dennis and I believe we were so energized today due to the carry-over of having the kids here yesterday. An unexpected visit from Carrie, Megan and Nicholas was just as great of a boost for us as a weekend get away. Priceless.
