Sunday! New Glasses and Polished Silver!

For the last three weeks I have been promising Louis Dean we would go to the Bass Pro Shop after church. It is literally across the street from Fellowship - if you count a major highway as a street!!

He has his heart set on doing some fishing when we get down to the ranch so he bought himself a brand spanking new minnow bucket and that that inexpensive plastic kind either! That and a good sized net to haul up the fish he hopes to catch plus a few other things that I don't even know what they are! He was a happy camper.

While he shopped I sat in the great room they have before you actually go through the turnstiles and into the store. I sat right there in front of this magnificent fireplace!

What a beauty!

It was a chilly day with a cold wind blowing.

I could have stayed there in front of that fire for a long time but Louis Dean finished his shopping faster than I would have liked.

We walked right next door to the Steak House and I bought Louis Dean a 16 oz rib eye plus a glass of Stout Ale. He was an even happier camper now!

Rufus is going to love that bone!

We had a really good Sunday!

We stopped at Sam's on our way home so I could pick up my prescription 'wear all the time' glasses!

I was a bit daunted by all the selections when picking out glasses and these are the first 'progressives' I've ever had plus the first time I have needed 'wear all the time' glasses.

My check up was last March and it took me the whole year to get around to filling the Rx.

These are actually men's frames and they are next to the cheapest I could get.

I wasn't sure about investing a lot in case I couldn't get the hang of wearing them.

But I like them! I cane see distance, in front of me and I can read - if I keep my head up and look down. It will take some practice.

We came home and took good long Sunday naps and it was dark when I woke up!

I didn't mean to sleep that long!

We are going to the ranch tomorrow and my goal was to leave a clean house to come home to.

I'm slowing down this year and pacing myself so I did not make that goal but over half the house is clean! I'll take that.

The sewing room was what I tackled tonight.

I had worked on it some yesterday and finished it - complete with a candle burning in celebration.

We will be addressing some repairs in there when we get home.

I am so thankful Louis Dean can fix any and every thing that needs fixing!

He helped me polish up the silver for the dining room last night.

That poor silver was so neglected.

It had been left in an uncovered tub in the storage building behind other things and I couldn't see it.

I haven't laid eyes on it in over a year and a half so I am truly happy to see it sitting there sparkling and shining in the fairy lights.

 I am chomping at the bits to get back down to the ranch.

They haven't had any rain for several days so there's no problem getting in but several 90% chance of rain days are in the forecast starting on Tuesday.

We will probably have a campfire tomorrow night to celebrate BEING there!

I love this photo but even with my new glasses I had to enlarge it greatly to read that last word.....

"Life is a journey and only you hold the map."

We don't even need a map to get back down to our Happy Place!!
