Shopping with a sting!

I woke up Saturday to a beautiful morning. I took the dogs for a walk. Yes i walked 5 dogs yesterday. Lexi was the first one as she is very hyper and pulls so she has to be walked by herself. Then i walked Dolly, Duke and Lucy at the same time. Dixie isn’t able to go on walks yet again. She can walk enough to get to the door and once you carry her outside she can walk to go potty and back to the door. Then i went to Ms. Brenda’s and walked her dog Peppy and feed and watered the bird.

By the time i got my mile walk in i was hot and sweating! I showered and got dressed for my lunch date. It was a great meal and after lunch it was time to do the dreaded weekend deeds. Yes, grocery shopping. Dollar Tree and Save – A- Lot on on the way home so those 2 places were visited first. Ughhh here is what i got for my dollars ……

A grand Total of $212.97 Ouch!!!!

I decided my back and butt couldn’t take it any longer sitting at the dinette set & couch. Being Ms. Southwind is only a young 22 yrs old the cushions are pretty much wore out! So i bit the bullet and finally gave in and purchased a memory foam mattress, cut it to fit and man the difference it makes. Eventually i want to get material and redo them. For now i have sheet & Towel over them to hide the new addition. I’m hoping this summer to take down my pleated shades and replace them, plus I'd like to redo the valances & curtains through out Ms. Southwind.

By the time i got all the dreaded deeds done, the temps were starting to change big time. The wind had been blowing somewhat through the day, but nothing strong. Wow the temps had dropped fast and it was a bit on the chilly side. I had wished I'd of brought me a jacket. It’s definitely not T-shirt weather now. Finally it was time to relax and enjoy the rest of the evening. Night all
