Sunshine

 I read what his is called but for the life of me don't have a clue now...maybe when I post the other pic over on my other blog we can read the tag.  Whatever it is, I love it.  I have never seen this type of glassware? or whatever it is called.  But it makes my heart sing.  And there was several pieces, though I only took two pics of any of it.

Sunshine is another thing that makes my heart sing...specially after having two or three days where it has not shown itself.  Though I dread cold weather, I can deal with it as long as there is a lot of sun.  One year, we had so little sun, I thought winter was never going to end.

I had errands to run...I had a return to Amazon so the drop off I use is just a couple miles away.  I had a bag of various things to take to Good Will...there were some clothes.  You would be proud of me...I donated some capris I have kept for several years but have not worn.  I don't recall why I stopped wearing them, but I did stop.  They were well made and so comfortable...

I also donated a few more books...I have really thinned out the books.  Some I know I won't ever read because the print is really small and the pages very yellowed.   There was a few other things in there but can't recall exactly what as it has been added to the bag over time.

I also had to run by Walmart for about half a dozen things, one of which was an extra half gallon of chocolate ice cream.  Roger has some every night.  I do occasionally.

I have taken the garbage bin out to the road for pick up tomorrow, and am going to get my pjs on here shortly, even though the sun is still shining...

Would like some tea?

 I meant to take a lot of pics at the antique places we went, specially the first but only took 3 or 4. This was one of them.

It has been a rainy, dark day.  And was kind of hectic to begin with.  I stopped by the grocery to pick up 4 things before I went on to Mcdonald's for Roger standard breakfast.  I go the the self-check to pay and realized I had left my wallet in the car.  I always take it out and put it in the cup holder till I am not searching for it when I pay at Mcds and forgot to get it when I went in the grocery.  

Just so you know, I did not know for sure I was stopping...if it was raining hard, I was going to skip it.  But it was only misting so I thought I might as well stop and pick up the items.

Then I get to McDonald's....I could barely hear the girl when she asked me what I wanted.  I think some of them forget to turn on something.  Anyway, I ordered, and paid, then got to the window to pick up my food.  She asks did I get a large coffee and a large Coke...I said no, just a large coffee...no Coke.  She asks 'Diet Coke?' I said no, just a large coffee.  There was one sitting there and another girl handed her another...they tried to give me both of them...I said no, just the one...they told me i could have it for free.  I told them no, I can't drink it...it gives me heartburn and I was thinking to myself Roger only needs one...I finally convinced them to keep it.  

The kids there are really some super kids...I think the one was fairly new.  A couple have moved on I think or else work a different shift.  But I am sure they will find a good job cause they sure were polite and knew how to work.  It was always fun to chat with them a few seconds if not a big line.  If a big line, we didn't really talk any.

I made fried rice...I think it is only the second time since being here.  When we are tired of everything, it always tastes so good.

He went that way!

 Every time I see this, I think it is pointing out which direction to go.  

 I always wonder how people every made it to their destination before GPS and google maps.  They have made life so much easier.

And do you ever think of the pioneers and early explorers?  They sure had the nerve to take off for sometimes years at a time.  Or the wagon trains going west.  Just think of no good bed at the end of the day.  Not even a comfortable chair to sit it when the day is done.

Sarah came here and worked from here yesterday and stayed with Roger till Rachel and I could take off for a few hours...we went back close to home to some antique shops.  I love to just look around but not in the mood to buy anything for me.  There was stuff I like, but I know I do not need anything else.

And the most pleasant part of the day was going to eat at the local diner...just to sit down and have a breakfast that I had not cooked and to not have to clean up after cooking!  

What is something that highlights your day?
