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, but little odds and ends were nowhere to be found. I left HD to try Lowes. I've never shopped at Lowes enough to become really familiar with the layout of the store, but again I couldn't find a thing I was looking for.
I drove over to Old Fair Oaks Village near where I had an apartment several years ago. The Village had an honest-to-goodness old time hardware store, which I discovered has closed and been replaced by a BBQ equipment & supplies store. I just came on home to do some online searching or maybe get out the yellow pages.
I couldn't get enough to eat for lunch today - I don't know where this appetite is coming from or how long it will last, but I've been ravenous. It would be great if I could learn to eat my main meal at noon because that seems to be when I'm the hungriest. But other than Sunday dinner when I was a child, and summers on my grandparents farm, I've associated "dinner" with "supper" which is an evening meal. I'm no doubt too old to change now.
Other than driving around in vain this morning, I feel absolutely great today!
I will post pictures of my new tent when I eventually set it up. Since my floors are all pergo, I don't want to deal with possibly scratching them with tent poles, and I don't have a yard - just gravel with a lot of weeds in it!

Yep, another short week gone by. I had to make a couple of short trips this morning, Costco and the grocery, and I couldn't believe the traffic. I wondered if there had been an accident or a lane closure somewhere, but it's...
- Girls' Afternoon Out
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. ...

I went to Jeannie's this evening to help celebrate her birthday, and got a big surprise. Ara flew in for a few days, and gave her family a big, big surprise. Stephanie picked her up at the airport and delivered her to the house. ...

With only a high of 91 expected today, and the morning temperature at just about 70 I decided to get a few things accomplished. I tucked my t-shirt into my shorts, checked that I was modestly zipped and buttoned as befits an old granny, and set...
