Well, Well

Here’s another fine day.  A trip to Mankato for Dennis to get an injection in his left eye for Macular.  The next appointment will be in October.  The doctor commented that Dennis did better on the eye chart than ever before.  I believe the meds for Macular have improved also.

My purchase for the day included a new chip for my Cannon camera.  I was advised it would be a good thing and I acted upon it.

An additional purchase for us was new pillows.  I realize pillows are very washable but not in our stackable washing machine.  There is too much heft once they are soaked.  A front loader washing machine could handle them.  Even when I do bedding, I make sure there is counter balance in the washer.

A list to be fulfilled at Sam’s was indeed carried out.  Dennis had taken a break from his banana flavored muffins for a while that we got at Sam’s.  We would purchase three trays, six in each tray.  I would then pop each one in a zip-lock sandwich bag and in the freezer they went.  Dennis always commented that down to the last one for his breakfast they were just as fresh and tasty as the first one.  They run 6/$4.99.  Dennis found out that bakery items at Cassey’s or Super Fair were not cheap and not near as good tasting.  It’s his breakfast and he knows what he likes.  I could buy two pints of heavy whipping cream at Sam’s with the sell by date in September for what one pint costs locally and I would be lucky if the sell by date would be 30 days out.

Our Dennis doctor appointments have really slowed down, so thus we don’t shop for groceries nearly as often in Mankato.  For items in the cistern pantry shelves we do stock up on.  Whatever amount our freezer on the bottom of the frig can hold, I do fill it up with Sam’s items.  For sure Jimmy Dean precooked sausage patties and a box of 30 Eggo Waffles.  After our Sam’s perishable run out we do visit our local grocer’s.

The chicken rueben oven dish was a hit.  We will have a re-run for today’s supper.  Dennis whipped up an instant pudding graham cracker crust pie for our tonight’s dessert.  It all sure beats what we could get at McDonald’s.

By the way, we had a wicked thunderstorm at eight this morning and we drove home from Mankato with the wipers on.

No sewing for me today.  My left arm and hand feels it when I power shop at Sam’s.

With that I take my leave.
