Rainy Day Ramblings....

Raining and cold and chilly today. So of course, I decide to go out and run some errands!

First stop - the grocery store... Somehow, along with the catfood and birdseed, these two items slipped into my basket!



Then onto Starbucks for a hot chocolate.  Trying to juggle the umbrella, car keys and hot chocolate without dropping it all while getting back into the car was a riot.

Then onto Michaels - where I got a tree topper and some Christmas cards....  I already have my Christmas cards mailed out - but can always use more (says the person with about 40 or 50 or more boxes stored in the other room!  Everytime I go into a Michaels store now - I think of my sister. We had so much fun when she came for a visit in September - visiting every Michaels around me!

Then onto Home Goods where I got these yummy smelling treats....



My tree is up.....


What is it about men and umbrellas - never using them that is!!

I got to use my new umbrella today..... another thing I have tons of! I'm addicted to them and have a hard time passing one up!  Especially when it is as cute as this!



Oh, did you know that every day at Michaels is Senior Discount Day!!  I didn't know that - but the lady in front of me asked and we found out about it. Wish I had known before - since I go in there many times a month... I'm not sure of the age you need to be.  But I qualify! You just need to show your driver's license....

I got home and was trying to figure out why the left cuff of my jeans was soaked, but the right was dry.....

And then of course, right as I pulled into my driveway...the rain stopped....

your tree is so lovely! I do not live near any of the stores you were in. We had a starbucks but it went out of business. I do like michaels though-I'm up for a craft shop run any time.
