Tuesday Treasures!

Louis Dean decided to go with me to town today - allowing time for the ground to finish drying out enough for him to work tomorrow. He is building a storage room right next to the bathroom. This will be where he puts the water heater and washing machine. He's starting on the floor as soon as it's dry enough. He did set the toilet in place but I don't think it's going to be in working order this trip.

Let me just say, I have no clue how to build a room or do the plumbing or the electrical work. 

I understand we need the water heater situated before we could possibly think of having hot showers right here. But it does seem to me that it would be reasonable to at least get the sink and commode operational. He keeps saying, "That's not a problem."

 So.....what am I missing here? It must be a 'Guy Thing.'
It's a good thing we have the camper bathroom!

We stopped by the post office in Mart so I could mail off a few things.

From Mart we drove to Waco and two of the four Goodwills there.

Alas, Senior Discount Day has now moved to Monday!

Wonder if it's changed in Irving as well?

The music in the first Goodwill was getting on our last nerve.

It was popular music - not country and certainly not classical.

The song had about 4 or 5 words and they just kept singing them over and over and over.

We drove to the second Goodwill and - would you believe - that they were playing that same maddening song? We noticed it the second we walked in the door.

For lunch we ate at Long John Silvers.

The coleslaw was so good. Louis Dean jokes about eating there saying we needed to get our oil changed. The fish was greasy but sometimes you are hungry for that. I only ate one piece of the fish. Louis Dean ordered three pieces and he only ate one. He things we will feed the goats the remaining two. But the music in there was fun! It was 1950's and had us smiling and singing along and Louis Dean would tell me stories about what he was doing when each song was popular back then. He has lots and lots of good memories!

My next stop was HEB - my favorite store.

He dropped me off and went on to Home Depot.

He needed a wheel barrow!

I needed candles and these are made in the USA and smell delicious.

AND they are only $8!

Texas Thunderstorm is a new one and I bought it - along with two other candles - Surf and Sand and Evening Fireside Glow. All three made in the USA.

Here are my Tuesday Treasures!

Louis Dean got a big laugh over that Jesse James book.

He bought it without even opening it up. He assumed it was about the old west outlaw, Jesse James.

Nope! This Jesse James is the scoundrel who was married to Sandra Bullock!

We both decided to rest when we got home and he was so surprised!

I'm still reading  Coastliners and it is so good I'm having a hard time putting it down.

The patriotic purse was brand new.

I got five new tops!

All good brands and in good condition and fit me well.

I really like this fun one!

The sunset was pretty tonight.

We have sunny skies for the next four days!

Louis Dean played music while I worked on my book and wrote tonight's journal.

I haven't moved on with new chapters just yet but have gone back to clean up and add to the ones I've already written. So far I have 12 chapters. I have worked through the first 8 and hope to get through all of them and well into chapter 13 before we go home.

I think I better hunker down tomorrow and get some real work done.

But for tonight, I think I'm going to make us a light healthy snack and then read. 

Or maybe watch a Remington Steel. Or an original MacGyver!
