Easy, Breezy Day

It's a bit overcast today, but we can't complain, as it is nice and cool out and so far its been a good day for me. My granddaughter spent the nite last nite but she was a bit under the weather this morning and didn't want to go thrift shopping with grandma and her friend! So, I met my friend at the downtown thrift shop that I frequent on a regular basis . Amber hates the store, so she chose to sit in the car. I hadn't planned on staying very long, but it was red bag day and every thing you could stuff into a big red bag was only two bucks.... I hesitated to buy one as the store looked pretty bare, but I figured, "what the heck" might as well check out what's left..........Well, needless to say, there wasn't much left! But I managed to fill the bag with various items of clothing and some books that I will get around to reading sometime within this lifetime! My friend found one thing and I told her to just stuff it in my bag. Time to exit! Poor Amber was out in the car, not so patiently waiting. So, my friend opted to let me drive and we took Amber home and went on our merry way! Next stop, Salvation Army....nothing against Sal's folks, but the place just doesn't get it for me, but my pal insisted and I consented to go. I did manage to find a few goodies so I guess it wasn't time totally wasted!
Now, its getting close to time to eat...I never miss a meal, you know, so It's a question of where we're putting on the feed bag today. I wanted to go one place and she wanted to go where she could smoke.............I tried to convince her that she could do without smoking today, but that was a failure! so, we wound up going to a nice place downtown that we both agreed on. Then we had to pick a spot to sit...........first booth, music was blaring, neither one of us could hack that so we moved to another. I think we moved three different times before we found one that was satisfactory! Well, I won't bore you with any more mindless details........lunch was just okay and then we decided we'd had enough fun for one day and I dropped her off at her car and proceeded to go home to show off all my "treasures" to Jose. Believe me , folks, he wasn't nearly as thrilled with them as I was!
Well, that about raps it up covering my day so far. I'm havin' a good time and that's what day's off are for......I actually work in some chores around the house as I go, but mainly, I feel as though I should get to have some fun on my days off from work and today was especially fun because I didn't spend too much money and I got to spend some time with a friend that I don't get to see too often...........hope you can all do the same on your nonworking day........catch ya next post!
