Woke up this morning to wet, overcast, downright ugly weather. I guess summer isn't in the cards yet. I can't find the husband. He's outside or in the basement or another dimension, but he's certainly not where he can be located easily. After a cursory look by Melissa and myself I decided he was a lot like the cat and he will come back. I thought a nice lazy day staying inside today was on my agenda. Need to paint our sign for outside anyway and today was the day. As I meandered through the kitchen my eye caught a slight movement outside. Oh yah.....Hank outside weeding in the rain. I don't think there is a song in that title but you never know. After enough time had elapsed to make sure he was wet and getting wetter, he came in to see if anyone was up and who wanted some coffee and toast. Melissa was on her way off to Vancouver for a rip roaring good time at a party tonight. I decided to get myself mobile and go with Hank shopping for men's things. No not long johns and wife beater shirts.....lumber and other assorted building materials. Just as I was about to put on the shoes and coat he comes in to tell me ducks abound by our bird feeder. Aha...my photo op for today. Off I go and I shoot. Thank goodness it was only a camera in my hand. Hank fed them more food so they would stay while I clicked. Photo done, off to town for some really important price comparing for the hubby. We did the usual thrift stores and made a few purchases then Karen phoned to say she was in Zellers and did I want to meet. Okay, says I, coffee shop in ten. Hank had forgotten where Zellers was. Huh?? C'mon. I know we don't shop there often but really? Spent the rest of the afternoon with the sis. She bought a beautiful table from "The Brick" which was her choice entirely, even though she said I talked her into it. What a steal...regular over $500.00  and she got it for $68.00. Can't beat a good deal like that. She would be losin' money if she didn't buy it. Right Lisa? Well, that's my story for today. Until tomorrow, I bid you good bye and good buying.
