Michelle and I spent the morning and part of the afternoon running around. We started off with two garage sales. Michelle found a really good deal on an office-type chair. It was in excellent condition. She plans to use it in their basement, which is also their Man Cave.
At the next garage sale, I bought Brent an “almost new” Craftsman grinder. It was $15. Bill said it was a really good deal. Both Michelle and I felt good about the start to this day.
We went back home, unloaded our “treasures,” loaded Michelle’s van with some thing to go to Habitat for Humanity. After donating our things, we went in to the store to shop. They were having a 30% off day. We each bought a couple if things.
From there, we headed for Fort Collins. Our first stop was at a Western/Outdoor store. We went to Joann Fabrics for some sewing supplies and fabric. The line was so long at the fabric cutting table we left without fabric...only needles and thread.
By then, we were both getting hungry, so we stopped at McDonald’s for fish sandwiches. Once we were “tanked up,” we went to another Habitat store. Michelle was looking for bedside tables for the downstairs bedroom where Natalia will be staying when she moves to Loveland in December.
The next Habitat store in the area was in Berthoud, south of Loveland. There was a 50% off sale at that site. Our only two purchases were blouse for Michelle and a $2.50 comforter for Joey to tear the stuffing out of when he’s cheering for the Broncos. Still no end table! Shucks!
By the time we got back home again, we were both tuckered out. I rested and read a book for quite a long time, but didn’t ever go to sleep.
Dinner tonight was Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches. That is one of Connor’s specialties to cook. He certainly did a good job!
