Joanne's - Creative


I wasn't very creative my first month of retirement. I didn't make one lanyard. I decided for my field trip today I would go to Joanne's craft store. I was there in November but since spring is coming, I was sure they had a different inventory. So my plan was to drop off Brady at his Robotics club at the high school at 9am and then go to the Joanne's in Kent.

There was a new inventory and Christmas as well as Valentine's Day decorations were on sale but nothing that I cared for. Also, there were some St. Patrick Day items but I didn't care for any of it. I 
did find a floral box to store things in for 50% off. Then 
I discovered that the beads were 60% off. How great a time to shop for beads! Which of course I bought a supply. I need to get out 
my beads and organize the for Spring. This will get me back to being creative again.

Autumn

Didn't post yesterday but I was going to mention how beautiful this time of year is.  September with summer slipping away and long shadows, October is brilliant with color, and November is subtle and subdued with coziness.  As the wind or rain chases out the last of the leaves, one can see winter coming in.  I am grateful for this time of year and enjoy each moment.

Christmas Time

The fall season of orange, gold, and brown is suddenly over.  Pumpkins are put away.  But we continue to give thanks. It's been a lovely autumn.  October was brilliant with color in the trees.  November has been subdued but cozy.  Beautiful sunny days were gorgeous. Kari has been sick this week and didn't go to work Tuesday and Wednesday.  She's been left alone to sleep.   We are looking forward to decorating for Christmas.  We already had a few Christmas things out mixed in with the Thanksgiving decorations at our house.

Catching Up

Sunday was a really busy day.  I felt it was time to return to church in person and all 4 of us were there.  I introduced my family to my friends. Next was Costco to get Regan's cake for her grad party. At 2 pm we were at Tim and Angie's at the party.  It was great seeing everyone again.   Monday I got tires and an oil change for my car.  We also checked on the rebate we got in September.  I have to call the Refund Center tomorrow. Today I got the $189 rebate and off to Lowe's we went.  We bought things for the house and garden.  I plan to plant seeds tomorrow.
