ran around and did errands this morning…
one of them was to get the hot tub water tested… had a lovely conversation with the young woman who helped me… I was looking at some cute little things they were selling and asked if they ever went on sale and she said “oh, I can do something for you”… when she rang them up I saved over $10…
more and more I am asking if the merchants can do anything better with the price… many times they will, and the worst that can happen is they won’t, and I pay full price…
just as I was finishing up the grocery shopping, my daughter called and invited me to meet her and a friend for lunch…
we went to a place where I’d had a bad experience a few years ago…
happily the service and food were both much better… apparently they have improved with time… two years ago a manager followed me out of the restaurant to give me a gift card, as I had advised them, after paying the bill, how disappointing our experience had been… today I used that card to pay for my lunch…
stopped to pick up a bit of wine at the liquor store and was happy to see a Salvation Army kettle inside the store… my dad always made a donation whenever we passed one… George and I have also followed that practice, but as I don’t go out shopping near as much, I put a nice donation into the kettle which made them very pleased… my feeling is that if I can afford liquor I can afford a donation, lol… the staff person who helped me was excellent… she had good suggestions and even got me a white wine that was cold as I was planning to offer it to my guests within the hour…
came home and a friend dropped in with her friend and we had a lovely visit… she helped make a hook and hang the swag on the front door… looks beautiful…
spent some time working on a project and watching tv…
very productive day…
