Cold and windy but I was inside most of the day. Got the house cleaned, laundry done, and some lists made. I had a left-over hot dog for a quick lunch and just had a pretzel and a bite of cheese to hold me over until supper.
I have a lot of errands to run in the next two days, so I opted to handle a few of them today. I went to Miller’s Crossing in Irwin and got a jar of local honey, and while I was there I picked up a new trivet. I needed an extra one for a specific project and I found one that is ALMOST perfect. I may still find my heart’s desire but I’m good for now.
There was a little display of Snoopy chalk boards in the one booth. My favorite thing was the little bowl of doggie bones!
Kelly ran out of green yarn for one of her scarves, and I agreed to stop at Joanne Fabrics and get another skein. So THAT is the story of the day! They were out of the color she needed! I asked a clerk who had no clue. I walked up and down all the yarn aisles just in case they were relocated. That’s when I found another clerk, who was willing to check on availability. She found that a shipment had come in but not opened. Everything was in huge shipping crates in the middle of the display floor. She scanned the shipping tags and found the right container the second scan! So she ripped into the crate and found the green yarn right on top. I was gushingly appreciative and left there with the yard that Kelly will pick up on Friday evening.
Now I am typing away – content with a small stash of Easter M&M’s to get me through the process!
Trivia: Answer to yesterday’s country is Canada! Not Holland! Today’s trivia: A penguin is the only bird that can swim but not fly.
