Cold this morning … BRRR
I got a text yesterday afternoon that my new frames were ready for pick up - so, we made plans to drive into Hanford to get them, in the morning.
It was cold 😱 this morning when we woke up; hot coffee ☕️ was more than welcome … and I pulled my big, heavy, Carhart coat on before walking out the door.
The cold is playing havoc with both our bodies: Holland's knee was burning & my lower back area was on fire, but we needed to get the glasses and grab a couple items 🛒 🛍️ while in Wal*Mart - so, we went 🚘 Aside from the frames pick up 👓, the rest of the pick up's was ridiculous 🙄
We got most 📝of what was on the list, but we were feeling so much pain 😟 we just wanted to get back home and enjoy the warm, easy-paced comfort of our little house on wheels 👍
While standing in a long line, a floor walker redirected us to cashier #27 who had just started her shift: we walked that way and started unloading the cart … immediately it seemed, the computerized side-panel card reader literally fell off the item monitor screen 😳 so, she dinked around with that for about 20 minutes trying to keep it in place until it reconnected and stayed put. Then while bagging groceries, the garlic bread 🥖 slid out of it's bag - and thankfully landed in our grocery bag; I slid it back into it's original wrapper. While all this was happening, our pain levels were escalating the longer we stood.
Gimping our way across the parking lot to Betsy, I fancied I could smell holiday spirit 🎄 in the air. Groceries stashed in Betsy's back seat area, we drove across the parking lot and nipped into In-N-Out Burger drive through, for a lunch treat. Then we drove back across the parking lot to munch on our burgers and fries. While eating, I admired the turning tree leaves decked out in holiday season colors 😉
Walked around Wal-Mart shopping …

Most people chase big moments thinking that’s what makes life meaningful, but the real magic is usually in the small things we overlook: a quiet morning, a good companiable conversation, a simple meal, time spent next to someone you love. When you start paying attention to those everyday moments, life opens up in a way that feels richer and more peaceful 🤗 Ordinary things don’t stay ordinary 💝 once you learn how to appreciate them.
Back home, purchases put away and relaxing comfortably in Independence … a cozy appreciation for ordinary things settled over us as bodies were eased, blessings were counted, and relaxation began in earnest 😉
Holland spied this Snickers flavored coffee … so, it came home with us 😘
He also bought this prepaid Money Card for, "your vintage movies, Baby" 👩❤️💋👨
I bought this cheetah print case to match my new frames 😊
My new glasses frames.
Scrolling movies, I decided on a vintage mystery movie to watch while working more rows on my WIP.
