Activism, shopping and being a promoter of our area, and yes, you are very welcome Charlotte County Florida!

We had a busy day again out into the world, at about ten thirty in the A.M. we left the compound to mosey on over to the vampira’s hangout in the lab, corp that is, for my TSH, thyroid test. And when the New Yorker newbie one took all that she needed of my precious red gold, I was dismissed.
And so Hubby and I drove the mile or so down the road a piece to the Beall’s of the outlet persuasion, meaning lower cost for the same good stuff!
Any-who, the objective was to locate a statuary of the pelican species for a place in our humble abode…but the selection was not to my liking, many others may like them, but none I could fall in love with, if you know I mean?
We did find a new mattress protector for our king sized bed, for a mere, $12.99!
Then I took a look around for something in the clothing department, which with me being so large, not living large, being FAT, I sincerely hate to go. But with my few sets of clothing that I do wear going in and out of the wash so often they are showing wear and tear, literarily!
I did find some pretty solid colored two shades, one each of purple sun dresses. One had a cap sleeve and the other did not, but I found a lovely blouse with a large matching flower on it with silver painted embellishments on it. So we went over to their costume jewelry department and for $5.99 I found a complimentary necklace and earring set with shell like small round pieces threaded through with a silver chain, unique enough to catch my eye. Then Hubby suggested trying Tuesday Morning, where I had bought the jar for my terrarium, for the pelican, but they hadn’t any at all!
After there we stopped for lunch at the Thai CafĂ©, and for only six fifty per person we had a lovely lunch, Hubby had crispy duck and I had curry duck with my usual unsweet iced tea and extra lemons, and this time, since they don’t serve hot coffee, only iced Thai coffee, but Hubby doesn’t like his iced so he opted for plain water.
From there we, dare I say, stopped for our evening wine supply at the ABC liquor store in their parking lot, how convenient, hmm? And the ones we like were on sale.

Having a large lunch makes you eat light at dinner, which we did with a few leftovers although I did make homemade tomato soup, mmm, mmm good that’s why Tobi’s mmm, mmm good! Oops, hope I don’t get sued for doing that?

One of my emails before I got on here tonight was a request from the MS National Association to help with sending a letter to our representatives for bills to be passed in congress to help us with Multiple Sclerosis, and being an online advocate as I am I had the ability with a few clicks and taps to send my form letter that ‘they’ provide us with on to who needs to know! Such a good feeling to be useful, I think, sure useful is good but was I? Even doing little things can mean so much, I sure hope so.

Far as promoting our area of Charlotte County Florida, each time I write to a person up north I brag on us being on the top ten list of best places in America to retire to!

And all in all it was a pretty pleasant day and we are very happy for that… as we all should be…sometimes the mundane is not that bad, hmm?

So I am leaving you with that thought to ponder, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you to kindly count all your blessings and to share all your overages and we will too!

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