The first shop day of the new year, and I can confirm that there was no difference, although some shelves were noticeable empty, the place was the same as last year.
Having done that, we headed up to West Olive to collect a croqueted jumper for Winnie. That puppy is slowly accumulating more and more clothes, soon she will need closet space of he own.
So we arrived at the address, but no jumper, that is when Kelli re-read the message only to find the person had left, and wouldn’t return until 4.00pm, so basically, a wasted trip.
It wasn’t all a waste because she had also arranged to collect another bed for the little one.
I swear that soon there will be a bed in each room, I think she is being spoiled.
She is getting better at the house training bit, we’ve had no accidents for a couple of days, and she waits by the patio doors possibly signalling that she wants to go potty.
Once that was done, we’ve headed home.
I had to go to Megan, the lady I built the kitchen island for.
She was the one with the water damage, I had agreed to re-coat the island top with Wax oil, mainly because the insurance assessor had thought the top was damaged, fortunately it wasn’t.
Then I had to collect a dresser, it was getting dark, and as usual it was difficult to read the house numbers. I eventually found the place because of an odd window up in the eves.
It was a bit battered, but it was solid and a quick paint job should do the trick.
We also sold the dresser that we posted yesterday, that was good.
