Errand Day
Today was errand day for me in downtown St. James.
I know it is haircut day when the collars of our jackets do not want to easily lay down. Dennis’ niece does a great job for us.
As tomorrow is surgery day for Dennis, I had been making a list on the dining room table of groceries that needed to be picked up. Superfair is the grocery store that we have in town. Having the necessities in the house will make the next week or so easier was my aim. Not the best of bargains as there is no competition. What I thought was amusing was that a dozen of Grade A brown eggs were $3.69 sitting right next to Grade A white eggs at $5.99. Bless those little brown hens.
My friend June does not drive and it was high time I stopped in to her apartment for a visit. When June lived on the end of Stauffer Avenue, we would walk back and forth to have a visit. June’s daughter keeps her mom supplied with reading material that she purchases in an outlet store in the metro. June passed off four novels to me today. When I have read them, I will pass them along to someone else. This will save me the trip to the library where books are checked out for three weeks at a time. That three weeks can go by quite quickly when things get busy in our little home.
When I got home, Dennis had knocked off the snow on the back door awning with the snow rake. About the time that we would have forgotten how much snow was up there, it would have taken one slam of the door and the snow and ice could have hit one of us in the neck. I say that as it has happened in times past.
Tonight after six, we can call the Mankato hospital to find out what time Dennis needs to check in tomorrow morning. I know the four lane will be clear as it already was yesterday. Time will indeed tell how our day is going to shake out.
If the morrow gets late, I will put off putting on a posting. There will be another day to catch up.
