Getting through the day.

 Welcome to December. Its a cold and rainy day. I hope we get more sunshine.

I had a really great day, yesterday!

I was invited by my kind hearted neighbor, Gary, to go shopping at a local craft store. He was looking for some ornaments for his new tree. He sold most of what he had when he moved and making a fresh start, just like me.

We had a great time and it reminded me of the days Henry and I shopped together. We always had fun and enjoyed every outing.

I bought a few really nice things all 50% off, which really makes me happy. I love a good bargain!

I almost didn't go, but then I thought how nice it was to be asked to go, the weather was sunny and beautiful and I really needed a change of scenery. I agreed and we were off!

Our first stop was Hobby Lobby. We had a great time looking at everything and sharing our thoughts. We both found some really good items and were so happy with your bargains!

He wanted to go to lunch, but was afraid about my dietary issues. I said in the whole area I can still eat at 2 places so we decided on Mission BBQ. Henry loved that place. I do too and now so does my friend. He was impressed with the food and the atmosphere. We were just in time for the pledge off allegiance at noon.

We went home and decided to drop off our purchases and go to a Thrift shop. We had such a good time going through all the piles of stuff and even found a few items that were super cheap.

I have been looking for animated armatures to make creepy dolls with. I found one for $5.00. It is pretty dirty and needs a lot of work but If I can clean the clothing I will use them after I alter them for my Mini Museum. If not, I can make something that would have that Gothic flair I am looking for. I have a lot of ideas and when its warm enough to work in the garage I will be doing more out there in hopes that next Halloween I can actually open it up to view.

I will say it helped shift my dread of today. I wanted to avoid it as much as I could.

But here I am, trying not to think about it.
