Tuesday Treasures and Wednesday Wonders and Plain Old Thursday.....

 I love a good Tuesday and especially one that includes a hair cut!

Yulisa works at two salons so it was a happy thing that she could cut my hair in Irving that morning.

It was driving me crazy and I told her I needed it to be short again!

I'm always amazed at how good she can make my hair look.

She's a really special lady!

After my hair appointment, I had just enough time to show Family Dollar for Valentines before meeting Brenda at her office for our January lunch date.

We went to Fuzzy Tacos and wondered at first if it was open since there weren't very many cars in the lot. We forgot for a moment that we were eating a late lunch (2:30) since Brenda gets off early

She had been sick during the entire Christmas holidays so I opened my gifts!

I absolutely love this prayer journal and will begin using it in a few months when I have my current journal full. By writing my prayers down or at least the names and requests, I can remember to pray for them regularly. We just had a big answer to prayer this week when our friend Dawn down in Florida was released from the hospital. We were pretty scared for her but she is going to be just 'fine' - as soon as she can regain her strength.

We took our time at lunch and then hit up two thrift stores!

I seemed to hit the jack pot but it was partly due to Brenda finding things for me in the clothing section.

I ended up with 10 really pretty tops!

I love this sign and it is hanging in the hall now right above the clothes hampers.

I couldn't NOT buy this sunflower crock!!

See the tiny bee??

I scored with these Life Stride Velosity 2.0 boots and they fit and were comfortable for both of my feet!

I'm grateful for the toe surgeries I've had but I still have to pay attention to my shoes.

It's best if I don't have to break them in myself.

I'll be glad to have these sandals in a few months and they went right in the washing machine and came out looking like new!

Sue Grafton wrote murder mysteries with titles from A - Y, and she passed away unexpectantly before she got to Z. I love her books.

Paperbacks were only $0.75 less the senior discount - which is 30% at Texas Thrift but only 10% at Goodwill now. It used to be 30% too. They have sales on the color of the tags with, say the yellow tags being 50% off and the pink ones 30%. I will have to watch the colors and save that way as even the thrift stores seem to have become more expensive.

This is such a good book!

Amber and Benjamin and I read it back in our homeschooling days and there was a second one as well.

I bought it for my grands and I think they will enjoy it as much as their mommy did.

Rosamunde Pilcher is my all time favorite author and I may have already read this one but I shall read it again! She was a British writer and died at the age of 94 in February 2019.

I couldn't pass up these 5 glasses!

I retired some dime store quality ones and washed these and put them right into the cabinet!

Same thing with the 5 TMD Holdings glasses.

Tall, slim glasses and heavy!

I left the house on Tuesday at noon and didn't get home before dark!

It was a really good day and, to top it off, Summer arrived to spend the night!

Wednesday morning I received a text message from my sister, Luann, asking me if I would like to meet her in South Lake for lunch and a little shopping. I'm not much of a spur of the moment kind of lady and usually plan out my calendar a month at a time and update it week by week. However, I do love my sister and I didn't have my plans set in stone - so I had two days back to back with lunch and shopping!

We chose Corner Cafe and it is always good!

Trader Joe's was our first stop and I loaded up on their frozen orange chicken, vegetable fried rice and other favorites.

Second stop was Central Market!

I dearly love to browse their fruits and vegetables!

Seldon do I buy any of the exotic things I see but it's fun to look!

They had some really fance mushrooms for $100 a pound!!

So I suppose these were relatively reasonable.

Buddha's Hand is in the citrus section.

Someday I may splurge and buy something unusual just for fun!

Summer spend Wednesday night with us and we enjoyed getting to catch up with her.

So many friends and loved ones have been ill with Covid and this afternoon Sabrina's mom was admitted to the hospital with Covid. Sabrina and Rayne will be flying back to Texas from Puerto Rico tomorrow - they just left Saturday - and Sabrina has not recovered all her strength from being sick after Christmas. You know, we are all such needy people and I am so very thankful that we can take all our cares to the Lord. We can hold our loved ones up to the Lord in prayer and that is a very real way to show our love for someone and as well as our confidence in the Lord.

"Casting all your cares upon him for he careth for you."

I Peter 5:7

Washing hands and using hand sanitizers has become second nature as well as keeping our distance in stores and staying away from crowds.

Nowadays, every time our throat gets scratchy or we develop a cough, we think - Could this be Covid?? So last night Louis Dean started coughing and choking and hacking. He gets allergy induced asthma from time to time but it's been over 2 or 3 years since he's been sick.

But he was sick today and I have been hovering over him like an old mother hen.

I know he's sick because he's been in bed all day. He got up a time or two and sat in his seat on the couch in the den - which is like a recliner. He's only had some chicken noodle soup and a few crackers to eat all day. I did give him pumpkin spice cheesecake filling - I didn't have things to make acrust - but he only ate a little bit. I have taken his temperature all day long and he hasn't run any fever.

His chest was hurting so he took a nitroglycerine tablet earlier this evening. And he felt like taking a hot bath. He's been chilled all day and is under a heavy fur cover we hardly ever use because it IS so heavy! I really don't think it's Covid.....but it concerns me to see him sick.

When I gave him his medicine tonight he was some better and certainly not any worse.

Still,I shall hover and check on him through the night but I plan on sleeping in the guest room.
