Monday Monday, So Good to Me


One of the awesome things about retirement is waking up Monday mornings and realizing I don't have to go work.

Today Kari and I started out early this morning.  She had her front window on her car changed due to a large crack.  So while they worked on her car, we went on a few errands.  Went to drop off to return a gift to Kari that her dad gave her twice.  

Then we drove out to Maple Valley to Vine Maple Place to donate coats and some shirts I don't use since losing weight.  I will have more in February/ March.  They help single homeless parents to keep them off the streets with kids.  I've thought of volunteering with them in the future.

Third stop was the Goodwill to donate more stuff, and to shop.  It's been a while since being there.  When Debra was available on Mondays we went there more.  I bought a Santa kneeling before baby Jesus figurine, a vase that I knew is worth 3x what I paid, maybe more, and two little angels.

We were hungry so we ate at Chick Fil A.  They have great salads.

Next was to pick up Kari's car, then home.

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.
