Olive Garden Monday

It was a typical Monday. Not a rainy day. This is the 2nd day in a row with no rain. That’s a long dry spell for us lately. It’s Monday so it is laundry and catch-up day—Also lawn mowing day. Have I bored you to tears yet?

We did make a trip into town centered on our Olive Garden Monday. I had forgotten our usual Monday visit there but Penny remembered. I bought a replacement garbage disposal on-line at Sears last Saturday. Ours is still working but vibrates and is as loud as a jackhammer. It has served us for over a decade. I opted for in store pickup so that was one stop on the schedule for today. Penny is getting rid of clothes that are too big for her so another stop was the Goodwill place. Finally our library books are due tomorrow but we have plans for the day. Penny is going to lunch with Kitty and we are helping Pam move her bed in the afternoon. So we hit the library today.

While at Sears Penny wandered off to get some stuff. Somehow (can you imagine?) she found herself in the infants clothing area. They were having a 50% off plus an additional 40% sale. I don’t know how she does it but she manages to find great bargains. We bought a bunch of clothes for Sophie.

I finished making the leg for C&C’s chair. It needs to have finish put on but penny says C&C did that to the other leg I made. I’m waiting to talk to them tonight to find out if I send it to them unfinished.

While mowing I noticed that the Dogwood tree we planted in honor of Penny’s mother was growing a second trunk. That tree has struggled ever since I planted it. Each time I think it’s dead it surprises me. All its leaves have brown spots and brown edges. I’m going to have to do some research and see if I can help it out. It deserves it.
