Hi, Yes, I did forget to write yesterday afternoon, after I came home from shopping with Bonnie. I really thought it would not be a big deal. I had a list of the things I wanted at Menards, and Costco....but it turned out much different.
Bonnie loves to shop at Menards, and we wandered through looking for something for her to buy with a rebate of $17 that she got at the beginning of the year and hadn't spent yet. We checked out the prices of vacuums, and they do have some cheaper than the one I saw at Target, but Bonnie said she had seen a thing in consumer reports about which one was the best to buy, so I decided to wait till she got home and found that article. Then I wanted some snowmen that are hanging from a hook, and will be out in my front walk way. It took us the longest time to find them, as Bonnie pointed out each snowman she saw, and I kept saying no they aren't like that they are smaller and hang from a hook. Anyway I found them and bought them. Then we went in search for a domino set they had on sale, and when we found that I did buy a domino set, but not the one they had in the ad. It was double 9 and I ended up buying a double 12. We finally went to the check out, and Bonnie went ahead of me, and for some reason her register wasn't working, so I unloaded my stuff and went to another register, but since several of the register's weren't working we had a line now to wait in, but even so, I finished before they figured out what to do with Bonnie and a few other registers that were not working. We got to the car, loaded it up, and I realized I hadn't gotten the $2.50 gift bags that were free with a rebate of $2.50, so we went back inside, and searched for them. There was a limit of 10, so I quickly picked out 10, and we went right back to the register, got the rebate slip, and headed to Costco.
Costco was about the same story, we both had things we were looking for, after we got the pie and cheesecake in the cart. Bonnie wanted some granola that she bought the last time she was there with me and loved. But sure innuff they didn't have it anymore. Then I was looking for nuts in the shell, none to be had, and cottonelle wipes, which I searched the pharmacy area, and finally gave the coupon to Bonnie and asked her to try and find it down by the toilet paper....and I went looking for candy and nuts, and when she I was done, and ready to check out.....Bonnie was just coming back with it. She said it was as far away in the back of the store as it could possibly be, and you know how big Costco is. Anyway, after not finding all we had on the list, I still managed to spend $100. So buy the time I got back to the car I was sore and exhausted.
I called Bill and told him I wouldn't be able to make the 8 a.m. pickup for the Third Annual Turkey Run, and went to the couch for a nap. Later in the evening around 7:30 my niece Phil's daughter, came and got some china that was supposed to go to Kathleen, but she has never taken it, and really didn't have a place for it, so Terri, is now the proud owner of it, along with a few other bags of stuff we took out of grandma's house that no one else seemed to want. I got to visit with her for about 1/2 hour, and she said that when she is not working out of town (North Dakota) she and CJ her fiancee will take me to church. CJ's parents belong to St. Tim's and would be happy to see us all in church together. She pointed out his parents picture in our church directory, and they were who I thought they were when they described them to me last spring. Thanks Terri, for helping clean out my garage.
Today, I'm going to Matt and Carol's with Annie and Doug, and then this evening we will go to Jimbo and Ann's where we will have dinner. Ann and Nick slept over at her mom's last night, so they could learn how to make the turkey and dressing. Funny, she posted that on Facebook, and someone commented that "Word on the street was that Nick was in charge"!! That may be true.
Anyway I know it will be a good day, and hope you all have a good day too! I have so much to be thankful for. Love and Prayers, m
