Tuesday Treasures and Car Repair Adventures!

Monday was a 'Stay at Home' day where both Louis Dean and I puttered around doing this and that. 

My Knight in Shining Armor did a major repair to one of last week's Tuesday's treasures.

I broke it when I fell and breaking that upset me more than the fall itself!

Which by the way - only left bruising in beautiful purple colors!

He repaired it Monday night and on Tuesday morning, he proudly showed me how well it held together! Alas, he had used his favorite Gorilla Glue and it looked like yellow snot squiggled all over it! Not to worry! Louis Dean used a chisel edge black marker and colored all the glue and it looked perfect!!

I really do believe there's nothing that Louis Dean can't fix!!

Brenda picked me up on Tuesday to do our weekly treasure hunt!

Between the two of us I scored a lot of good things!

Things that went well with my new decorating scheme.

Plus several Chico's pieces!

All my pics didn't upload to show the capes and other items.

The black shelves were most likely spice racks ...

but I used them in the hall.

I'm loving the look!

Really loving it!

Cleaner and less 'cluttered.'

I'm having so much fun changing my decor style!

And I smile every time I look at the frame and ornaments Brenda gave me.

I hung them on chains....

I cleaned up this corner and I like it!

I love waking up and seeing all my pretty things....

I know that the current 'trend ' says to avoid the 'sign' decorations and especially this one.

But I do not care! I decorate for me - not the trends. I make my own!

I am the Queen of Cover Up and the black and white valance Brenda found for me covers a stack of decorative boxes holding this and that!

This is a reality pic with the vacuum in the hall!

After our Tuesday shopping and the traditional lunch and visit at Chick -fil-A...

she dropped me off at Firestone to pick up Summer's van.

Remember her alternator burned up in Mount Pleasant on Super Bowl Sunday and she had it towed 200 miles to the Firestone here in Irving for repair.

Alas, when we got there - I saw that flat tire!

I called her and she negotiated repairs - again.

She is having and amazing time in Puerto Rico with Rayne!

Hopefully the van will be repaired and in place here at home when she returns.

Wednesday morning Louis Dean and I dropped the car off at Midas for a routine oil change.

We walked down the frontage road of Hwy 183 to the Waffle House ....

We had breakfast for lunch and the food was perfectly cooked and the price was so reasonable that we were able to leave a 25% tip!

The car required more repairs than we originally thought so we walked on down to Big Lots at MacArthur and  183....

That's quite a walk for older people.....

we only bought lightweight things and headed back to Midas. 

Louis Dean needed a breaks so we stopped for a rest and dessert when I checked in with Midas and learned of a delay in getting a part.

Thank the Lord and our sweet neighbor, Stephanie for the ride back home!

We were back at it this Thursday morning!

Our car was ready and Stephanie y drove us up to get it.!

Now on to the errands from yesterday!

We picked up our car and made an appointment with Lovely Nails that gave us time to shop the newly opened Ollie's!

Located at Hwy 183 and Beltline -they have some amazing products at such good prices.

While we were in line for for our pedicures, we ate at Lohas  Teriyajkai.

Buffalo Hot Wings are his favorite and these were exceptionally good!

I had the shrimp tempura!

It's funny I have not noticed this place before.

It's kind of a classy hole in the wall and they had a large urn of water with fresh cucumber and lemon slices. It tasted as good as it looked and reminded me that I should keep a pitcher of that in my fridge!

Lovely Nails is like old home week!

The people love us and we love them and we love being here!

Louis Dean's doctor recommended an appointment with a podiatrist,

Been there and done that!

It cost a good bit of $$ and a high quality pedicure appointment  is so much better1

We did a few errands before heading home..

We decided to go to Kroger for steaks, wine and cucumbers,,,,

Oh, my GOODNESS!! 

$50 steaks for $20!

We bought six packages of three steaks  for a big SCORE!!! 

Dinner was amazing and I'm so grateful for our life  - a steak dinner this evening with baked potatoes.

My friend, Susan, sent us this gift of cocktail napkins  - they reminded her of Louis Dean and his penchant for boxed wine.....

But this is MY box of wine!

Thank you, Susan!!!

Cheers from Texas!!!
