Hello, yourself!

Unngh. Kate is not a good driver, and once again, I felt very depressed when I went into her house. She is putting an enormous amount of energy into things like molding, paint (all blues) and organizing a massive amount of books she’ll never use. There is one seven-shelf bookcase filled with cook books.

Anyway, a little cleaning in the areas that are seen by visitors would go a long way into making the place feel comfortable.

I paid for the doctor visit online, but there was no record of it, so I paid again, and of course, that cut into my spending at the thrift store. BUT!! I got a spring outfit in a skinny size, with a beautiful pale coral color skirt and a darker blazer (Eddie Bauer, $8) with a lacy top that almost perfectly matches the skirt, as well as a white blouse that has a gorgeous “piping” design on the front.

I couldn’t find shoes and a bag to match, though there was a bag I almost bought — it was fraying at the handle, so I passed it by. I found a pair of open-toed, sling back shoes, black with a small bow and white trim. Very classy! It was worth the stop at the store for sure!!

No Burger King, though. Just straight home. Since we went in her car, I had to stop and get mine, but she gave me a very nice wind chime that is hanging by the back door, and a small toaster. Her place has so many wind chimes!

Oh. Yes. The doctor says I’m doing fine (of course) and to come back in six months.

Good morning. Congratulations on the thrift store success and surviving Kate’s driving. The clothes sound great.

I’m not into molding.
