Shopping and company!

August 9 – It was cold again this morning!  Brrr!  Today was shopping day and we ended up getting a later start than planned.  I did another load of laundry so we’re caught up for a few days!  Bill took his walk and did some weeding.  We finally headed to Rexburg around 11.

On the way through Ashton we stopped at Dave’s Jubilee Market so I could scope out the prices.  I picked up an ad and some of their prices were competitive for a small grocery.  Once we exited in Rexburg we stopped at the Deseret Thrift Store to check on books, but didn’t find any.  I did find a new with the tags Croft and Barrow top I liked and new socks for Jude and undies for Shiloh.  I’m always watching for things for their Christmas stockings and gifts.  Then we had lunch at Wendy’s and a quick stop at Dollar Tree.  We decided to give the library a try for books in their books for sale shop and left with 5 for $5.  That’s a deal!

Bill dropped me at Albertson’s while he took the car through a car wash and then we went to Wal-mart.  That took a bit longer as I had a pretty long list.  We usually do self check out so I can bag things like I want and we had a devil of a time with it today.  Then it was back on 20 for home.  It started getting dark once we reached Ashton so I hurried in to get the sale items and produce.  It became nastier the further we drove and the car temp went from 80 in Rexburg to 47 in just a few minutes.  We had some cold rain and by the time we got home the temp was back up to 60.

I got things put away and got supper started as Harry, my nephew, was due in from Salt Lake around 7.  I made pickle steaks with red wine gravy, hand mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and corn muffins.  I had intended to make dessert but since we left late and got home late there wasn’t time so everyone had a huckleberry ice cream sandwich!


We all watched a couple of TV shows and started winding down for the night.  Harry and I were on the lap tops and Bill was scrutinizing the atlas.  Then it was reading time and a good night’s sleep for a day at Yellowstone tomorrow!
