@holly.......We had traffic this morning,, something unusual for our town.
Traffic pattern has East, West streets .
The other North/ South
To miss the North South traffic we took a side street ....it was full!
Traffic like that all way to Walmart.

Told hubby lots of travelers on the road today.

Walmart's parking lot didn't look full,,, but store seemed full of workers & people .
The serious shoppers were hurrying around with carts full of goods, with their kids following them.

I was using my shopping list,, kept running into stockers & their carts filling shelves,
Or people talking in the way,,I just turned & move on.

I Couldn't think of what they reminded me ,hence odd seemed to fit.

At least it wasn't Amish shopping day.
Those ladies can fill a shopping cart or 2.
Always surprises us when you see them buying carts full of commercial made bread, boxes of cake mixes.

Oooh I wonder if those shop bought bakery items are passed off to the public when the Amish sell their ''home baked goods''?

Today I got two things in the mail today that I had been procrastinating about, One was a sympathy note to a man with severe dementia. The other is a watercolor painting for a grand niece's birthday, I have made lots of prints and notecards from paintings but until recently have kept the originals. At this stage in life I am giving them away to anyone who might appreciate them.

Anyway, I treat them like they have value and mat them in museum quality matboard and use linin tape. So it took a while but it is done.

On to Walmart for two prescriptions. Then I tried to have a hair trim at Great Clips but there were 10 people ahead of me so it can wait. Last time I called ahead and they said five minutes but I live 20 minutes away. Wednesday is senior day. There was an Aldi next door and I picked up a pork tenderloin with a good date. An eventful day for me.

I have medical procedures the next two days and a blood draw on Monday.

We agreed that Twinwood might be a bit ambitious this year, besides there's a Boogie Woogie three day event in Bournemouth on September 5th. The tickets cost £279 which includes hotel and catering costs. But we are just a forty minute drive from Bournemouth, so the day ticket price of £30 is perfect. Can't be bad, and we love the headline act: Si Cranstoun.
