Today Hubby and I went to do our grocery and personal needs shopping. It was a long morning, and an expensive morning, but for the first time since we left here for the reunion in September, the house is once again well stocked and the cupboards are filled with all that I need to make delicious meals. Also, the dogs no longer have to worry what they will eat, as we got all their food as well.
We worked so hard at all this shopping, that when we arrived at the fish counter and saw that Lobsters were on sale for $5.99 a pound, we splurged and got ourselves two of the little critters for our dinner tonight! I’ll make a baked potato, a mixed garden salad and the lobster. Oh, and Hubby grabbed a pumpkin pie from the bakery so we will have that for dessert.
On our way home we stopped off for a quickie lunch at a Chinese Buffet, and stopped to get the mail. That’s when I got a great surprise!
I now need reading glasses, which I don’t really mind, but when I am in the car and trying to see at a distance and also read a map, I have run into a big problem. My eyes are very light sensitive and I need sunglasses all of the time, but I also need the reading glasses. I found a glasses supplier who sells bifocal sunglasses! I ordered a pair last Wednesday, and today they arrived!!! Yay!!! They work like a charm, allowing me to read a map as well as see through the clear tops of the sunglasses.
It’s the little things in life that can really make your day!
Then The UPS man arrived with our new coffee maker. You see a few weeks ago during our run up and down the east coast, our coffee maker sort of died. As it was 8 months old and still under warranty we called the hot-line number and they told us they would send a new coffee maker in 4-6 weeks. Well that was about 5 days ago, and today it arrived!
Yes, it’s the little things that can really make your day!!!
good for you!!! Yummy lobstahs 🙂
Yay for lobsters and fancy bifocal glasses!
Yummy lobster 🙂
Yeah, the little things are the most important 😉
Mr. Gattino never comes with me for shopping he hates it and he gets on my nerves because I know it. I would be in a hurry and buy stuff I don’t really need. So shopping for everything is my job. I even have to buy his clothes ! He only goes for shoes because I cannot take his feet with me and suits he doesn’t need anymore. But then he uploads the car and I sit in a chair, lol !
Now you see again like an eagle, I also wear bifocals.
