Safe and Sound
Whenever we take a road trip quite a distance from Stauffer Avenue, I’m thankful when we come home safe and sound.
Yesterday we checked on the Eden Prairie gang.
Carrie was one week out of the surgery she had had. Wonderful to see her recuperating at home after all went well. Their yard looked as if Nicholas and Jeremy were keeping up with energized grass growth from rain showers. Megan was counting the days and the boxes yet to be filled for her return to Virginia on Friday. Megan has been helping in the store while being at home from the college year.
The traffic yesterday was heavy. I doubt anyone can quote you what the speed limit should be driven at. That little red pickup was clocked in at 65 mph or less.
Sunday evening Dennis visited one of the food trucks that were up in the park. He brought home a Taco Plate for one as this was a new experience for us and who knew what to expect! Three large softshell tacos filled to the brim with meat, lettuce, chopped green onions, cheese and hot sauce. Side orders of re-fried beans, and rice and chips. It was all the two of us needed for our meal at the price of $13.00 . . . and it was very tasty.
Sunday afternoon we had help with an item that had been in the back of his little red pickup for almost two weeks plus. When we last had an appointment for Dennis at the radiology department in Mankato, we stopped at Hobby Lobby. Dennis with a tape measure and me scoping out the sale items in their lobby. I found the perfect size of an item for our tiny house. It was marked “As Is” as it was a scratched and dent item. No dents. It had to stay in the back of the little red pickup as it was too heavy for Dennis and me to unload. Hobby Lobby fellows had had no problem.
Sunday I spied with my little eye that Dillion from across the street was home. I went over for a chat. Dillion got his heavy duty dolly out of his garage. The cabinet went up the front steps right into its resting spot without Dillion even breaking a sweat.
I will enjoy having some storage space close by. My household office area has always been a small computer desk in the living room. All we did with it is use some Silicone Lubricant on the metal slides of the drawers for better ease of opening. Sweet. Each barn door slide has two shelves.
All is well with my soul.
With that I take my leave. ♥
