A Day Well Spent

A delightfully pleasant day was had by yours truly today....I decided to waive all serious business and spend some time with my good friend Carolyn...I had a little present to deliver to her from another friend and that was a good excuse to stop in on her to see how she was faring! When I got there she had her door open and I knew that meant she was having a smoke! Sure enough, that was the case and she hastily snuffed it out and invited me in. The smoke was a bit overwhelming at first but eventually left and I took a seat and presented her with her gift...it was a hand knitted scarf that her friend had someone make especially for her..and she loved it and decided to wear it...She indicated to me that she had cabin-fever and I invited her to spend some time with me as I didn't have any special plans and would enjoy some company. She proceeded to get ready and away we went...First stop was Steak and Shake for some lunch...she ate like a bird...but managed to down a small coke and eat most of the meat from her burger and a few fries...I wolfed down a burger and two large diet cokes and most of the fries. I was finished before she got a good start! After leaving there, we went to visit my daughter and from there we went thrifting . We have a love for thrift shopping in common so that was fun and I ran on to more bargains than Carolyn...she found a golf club she liked and I forget what else...I was a bit surprised to see her with the golf club...seems she used to play golf...and perhaps plans on taking up the sport again. The longer I know this lady...the more I find out about her...I know she loves poetry and leaves and at one time was quite the pianist. I would have never guessed she was a golfer til I saw her purchase that nine-iron today!
We loaded up our treasures and I decided it was time for a break, so headed for my house...got here and of course the dogs went crazy...hadn't seen her in a long time so were a little too enthusiastic in greeting her... I got them settled down and noticed she seemed distressed...it seems that we forgot the golf-club in the cart! So I called up the thrift store and pleaded our case and they had found the club and promised to hold it for her at the check-out until we stopped in to get it...she was relieved over that!
It looked like it could snow anytime so I decided it would be wise to finish our outing and get her home...so, out next stop was Sav-a-Lot for a few staples and then we stopped by to get the golf club ....it did finally start snowing, but I got her delivered to her door before dark and she was very grateful to have gotten out and about and I do believe we cured her case of cabin-fever!
