My sister (Amy) asked Jeannie to drive her to get her nails done this afternoon, and I went along as well. The manicurist is located in the center of Old Fair Oaks Village - Fair Oaks is where I lived in an apartment before I got this mobile home. It's the village where the chickens and roosters have the run of things, and traffic stops to let them cross the street. I got pretty tired of them when I lived there, and I still don't care for them all that much. Chickens & roosters belong on a farm, in my mind.
While Amy had her nails done Jeannie and I walked around and went into some of the shops and boutiques in the area. I found a quilt shop and it brought back to mind my lifelong desire to get into quilting. I was about ready to do it when I had kids and although I sewed my own clothes, and later on, sewed for the kids, I just couldn't deal with what was required for quilting. I still have the urge to learn how to do it and the only thing that makes me hesitant is my eyesight. I think I'm going to go for it during the coming year, although I might just take some classes until after my trip to NY (If that trip works out).
We then browsed a shop that sells incense, crystals, candles and the like. I always enjoyed wandering through that shop.
Last stop was the Stockmen's Bar. I have always wanted to go in there but felt strange to go in alone, so with Jeannie along we sat at the bar and each had a draft Blue Moon. It tasted so good I was glad we didn't have time for a second glass - I could probably have enjoyed staying longer and having a few more beers.
After reuniting with Amy we made a few more stops for more mundane things, and not long after I was on my way home. I fixed myself a nice supper but I sure do miss the desserts I am used to having after meals. Instead of turning on the TV this evening I've been reading a book, which is way more satisfying to me than television.
Hopefully I'll get to the gym tomorrow. I have a few sore muscles from the last effort so I know I need the exercise.
- A Day With Liam
I had Liam today - Steve had to drive to a meeting in San Francisco, and Meg had to work. Steve hasn't been feeling well and Meg went home early because of being sick. I spoke with Jeannie and she sounds really bad too. We all have...
- Easy Saturday
I had no plans for today but went to the farmer's market early and was back home in no time. I shopped at my favorite of the stalls and didn't feel like walking around, so I just got what I needed and came back home. Jeannie came over to...
- Seems Like A Wasted Morning
I set out for Home Depot with a list, but was disappointed to find that they have jumbled some of the shelves around, and I couldn't find anything on my list. The main departments, paint, electric, plumbing, etc., were still in the same place,...

Jeanne came over this evening and we went walking on the bike trail starting from behind my house, and all the way to Fair Oaks which is the village of my former apartment. It was a nice walk and on part of it we saw wild turkeys as well as deer....
