Michaels, Home Depot, and The Brown's House...

Yesterday I finally got to go someplace other than this house. I have been inside since my surgery on the 12th. I was ready to get out and get some fresh air and enjoy the change of scenery.
Andy worked on Saturday and Sunday due to the snowstorm we got on Saturday. He was home before 2pm on Sunday which meant he still had time to drive me into town.
So our big outing was 1st to Michael's to buy some yarn. I thought I had bought enough yarn to keep me busy while off work, but I seem to have used almost all that I had bought in that first week, and I didn't want to be without something to do this week. I have been crocheting baby hats and donating them to the hospital.
Our 2nd stop was to Home Depot, where Andy bought some dremel piece to sharpen the chainsaw chain, and a tool box for his dremel and its parts. I found different light switch plates for the bathroom, nothing fancy but now they will match. Now I will need to save and find a different light fixture, door knobs and towel bars.
We then decide to come back home because I was tired and ready to relax after my burst of energy was gone. I have had a craving for cheese popcorn, so Andy stopped by the party store and picked up a bag and a newspaper.
When we arrived home, we unloaded the truck and walked next door to the Brown's house for a visit. Rick and Andy went to the garage (Rick's man cave), while Cindy and I stayed in the house and visited. I was nice to sit someplace else and have a person to talk to. We were truly blessed when we moved and got the Brown's as our neighbors !
