Mission trip...and an offer we couldn't refuse...

Today set us on a journey to accomplish two repairs.
One for the emulsifier that we purchased from the big discount store, Super Wal-Mart a few weeks ago, it cracked while smoothing over some homemade applesauce this morning and yes the apples were soft from being cooked!
The other was my newest eye glasses but with the older lovable frames that went with everything since they were a combo of gold and silver metals, but the lenses were brand new, well at least only a couple of months old. And the frames broke!
And so once we returned the plastic based Hamilton Beach emulsifier or hand held mixer or whichever you prefer to call them it was a bargain at $19.99 and we did save the receipt and box; we decided to try, another chain that specializes in kitchen items Bed Bath and Beyond and went in with their 20% discount mailer card and purchased a stainless steel based Cuisinart one for $29.99 but with the coupon, $23.99 plus tax and we went on our merry way wish us luck with this one!
On our way to the other stores we stopped at one Eyeglass World and John the tech there did really try to see if they had any frames that would work and nope. Then at Wal-Mart we checked and no either but the tech Kelli did read the name of the style off the frames for me and thought that I could call around for them since it had been so long ago I did not remember where I originally got them, but I had a better idea that if Sam’s Club didn’t have them then I would try online, actually Hubby did by searching just the name.
And voila he found it and it was much less than the many stores which were pretty high priced and really didn’t have the one I wanted or even a facsimile that I would have to settle for, and so I am proud to say that for $71.10 plus shipping ‘go-optic’ will be sending them within 1-5 days the exact one I love, hooray!
Sam’s Rose said they would install my lenses for free too but Hubby thinks he can do it; good grief with me and all lenses I have had falling out of glasses so often with loose screws he’s almost a professional by now!

Any-who before our final trips to the last two designations we did stop for lunch at Crispers the Publix owned soup and salad restaurant that doesn’t let you tip but if you must it goes to the United Way! Healthy food and charity too, what more can anyone ask for.

And I saved the best for last we had a very lovely offer given to us, an invite to a concert that is local and we accepted! It is a little bit overwhelming since the generosity is from nearly a complete stranger but a Facebook friend and the executive director of the choir. Amazing for such extreme munificence to come at such a loving time of the year and so close to our anniversary! How truly sweet and he does read this all the time, what loyalty! LOL! It is the, “Feel the Spirit", concert at the Center for Performing Arts in Punta Gorda; A celebration of patriotic music and a salute to Black History Month, check with the center for times and days, phone number(941) 637-0459 or (941)-204-0033
I suppose he read all those things I wrote about my growing up time with dancing and singing and happiness and so much joy! Don’t you all remember those times when music was a very big part of that special occasion, yes you remember for this I am sure… and probably you still have that reaction with any music you hear anytime that sparks that wonderful recollection in your musical soul!

On that enchanting thought to ponder I will very much like to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count those blessings and share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
