Lots of fun...

Three trees down today and three to go – hopefully the weather will cooperate and that they can get that done tomorrow. Calling for snow over next few days into the weekend – yippee. What a difference the missing trees is making so far! Trouble is that we can really see the neighbours now and vice versa – they will be able to see us! We went to the Auction Barn to get the amount owing from the sales of furnishings and what a disappointment to realize how little everything was valued by people bidding. Eg. the four leaf solid wooden dining table that was used at all the family get togethers – $10.00!  Oh well, that part is now over and now Harry has to deal further with the offer on the house. It is like a game – one in which I wish to have no part but unfortunately I have to be engaged. But on a brighter note, we passed a Walmart on way to the Barns in Huntsville, and I had the opportunity to slip in and buy a few articles much needed for my trip – new pyjamas, underpants and socks. I felt so special to walk out with new clothing as all my buying seems to be at Recycled or Value Village. But I refused to buy "used" nightwear and intimate wear! Although I must brag a bit about the pair of runners I bought on Tuesday (at Recycled) I needed a new pair and just by chance I spotted a pair in Recycled – brand name Reebok, and good as new and only $4.00. I have no idea what a pair would cost at a shoe store but I feel especially happy to have got these. Today I stayed inside because of the men working in the yard, so was able to accomplish a great deal of organizing things that have been neglected up til now. It makes you feel so much better to get things in order even if it feels as if you wasted time frivolously. My car was in the garage today for repairs – I knew the brakes were in need of fixing but I underestimated their poor condition until the garage had to phone me to seek permission to fix them and I could see the dollar signs adding up very quickly! But it had to be done especially for confidence in driving this summer. Driving home from the garage tonight the car felt 100% different so I know how bad they had become and not sorry to have the repairs completed. I know why it is going to snow now because I had the tires changed from winter to summer today as well. So that was my day and now I shall watch hockey and go to bed. Hope all is well with you – take care
