Shopping Saturday

Well, yesterday was a nice Saturday because it actually warmed up a little bit. I had a really relaxed day. Worked on the computer for awhile in the morning then went to Lowes to buy an outdoor heater that is run off a propane tank. It is just a small radiant heater that I can use when I am out in the shed area. It just needs plenty of air so it can't be in a totally enclosed building.

Then on the way home I stopped off at the DI. I found a small life jacket to add to my collection of boating supplies then I found some nice pots and pans because mine are in sad shape. I then went to the book section and found some books to add to my collection of classic hardbound books. I have found so many great books there. The books I bought were still $8. a piece but would have been a lot more new from the bookstore, and they were in prestine condition. At the checkout stand I saw Sterling and Shawnee picking up a few things. It was great to see them, it has been a long time.

When I got home I realized that I needed some groceries so I headed over to Smiths and picked up a few things. It was nice to get all of that accomplished and then to finally get home when I was all finished running around.

It has warmed up so much that there was a light rain instead of snow coming down. It was warm enough that the snow on the ground started to melt and I decided it would be good to do some shoveling so that I could get the accumulation of snow off the blacktop driveway that we have between the duplexes. Last year that was the area that my car would get stuck in because the snow would build up and there was no one moving it out of the way. I wasn't able to move much but I wanted to free the area behind my car so that I can have a start in the mornings when I am going to work. I priced snowblowers at Lowes but they were just out of my price range.

I also decided that it would be good if I moved the snow away from the patio area over by the shed. Then it would be dryer when I decide to go out there to do the work that I need to do.

The day just wasn't long enough because it got late and it was time to go in and take it easy. I watched a video and took it easy for the night. It doesn't seem like much of a day but I was able to take it easy and get a few things done that really needed to be done. There is always another day to do more.
