The Junk Hunt

This takes place at the WA State fair grounds.  We went last Saturday.  It was raining hard this morning.  There had been significant wind last night due to lots of things outside tipped over.  That didn't stop us.  Off we went, Kari and I.  First stop was her favorite jewelry place.  We were there an hour plus.  Then it was one booth after another.  Lots of people.  Kari got rings and gifts.  Me too, just not as many.  

We went to Applebee's on South Hill, Puyallup.  Then on to Sumner to two stores for their Howntown Holidays.  

Now I know it's November and that Christmas is around the corner, but I am not yet feeling it.  I've been watching the Christmas movies but not yet feeling it.  I guess I am hanging on to Autumn.  Maybe November 24, the day after Thanksgiving I will change my mind.  

Anyway, I was grateful to meet cool people like Gayla at the jewelry booth.  I saw my friend Renee and her daughter Missy.  I was amazed we were there.  3 years ago, Covid was running our lives.  I am grateful to have these opportunities again of places and people.  I will never take it for granted.

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.

Celebrating Brady

Image
Saturday evening the family met up at Magenta's house.  I met her lovely dog and cat.  Saw Darian, Savanna, Bella, Marcia, Kenny, Colleen, and Magenta.  We spent 2 hours talking.  The kids worked on a puzzle.  I had a birthday gift for Bella. Sunday was Brady's birthday celebration at Round 1 at the mall.  We left the boys there and Debra, Kari, and I went to Claim Jumpers for lunch.  It was sooooo good.  I had a Cobb Salad with chicken and a Diet Coke.  Debra shared Spinach Dip and a plate of roast Brussel Sprouts.  Yum. Debra is quiting her job because Don now will be working a job for $7,000 a week.  Oh my goodness! Riley tried food in the food court from the Hamburger Shack plus others.  He praised and praised the food he ate.  He's such a foodie now.  And cooks well himself. Good day

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.
