Life goes on . . .
We did a lot of shopping these three days - food, apartment amenities - AND a sewing machine for Deb! Crocheting towel upon towel, although relaxing, lacked a little in variety. Besides, she is accustomed to spending a couple hours a day at home competing with her sister to see who can make the most outfits in a month for the winter bazaars. Here's Deb shopping in a quaint little out-of-the-way fabric store.
Thursday is "Thursday Market" day - all kinds of food and other things for sale plus local music if you want to hang around. Uncle Max, Alfie, Deb and I went down - bought meat sticks, BBQ ribs and corn on the cob and took it back to our place where Deb added some rice, cooked carrots (butter and brown sugar! Yum!!) and banana bread and cookies. What a feast.
Before market, since it was Uncle Max's day off, he decided that we all needed to get our senior citizen discount cards. Good idea! So, armed with our local ID we headed down to the Office On Aging. Paperwork all filled, all we needed was to wait for the phone call that the big kahuna had officially signed our cards. So, since it was close to lunch and Max was outfitted with coupons, we went to McDonalds for cheeseburger meals!
Friday and Saturday were pretty regular days of trying to find stuff that you needed to make the meal that you really wanted to make, but had to go to three stores to find broccoli or whatever else that was either out of stock or not something that store carried. We are NOT complaining! We manage to fit in a couple hours of snorkeling every other day or so to relieve the shopping stress!
