I wanted to go out to the store this morning to pick up some extra needles just in case I continued to break them over the weekend. Then I remembered I had a library book to pick up so I added that to the list. I needed gas and also some invitations for the Hall. I was hosting a Hall meeting at the house this afternoon so I stopped at the liquor store for some wine and beer – just in case Annabelle wanted a drink (or maybe just in case things didn’t go well).

Walmart for the needles was first on my list but while I had my hands empty I thought I’d take a quick look at the dress shop. When I walked in the clerk asked if she could help me and I assured her I wasn’t really looking for anything. That “not looking for anything” turned into two summer dresses and three summer tops. I don’t shop for clothes often and I have to be in the right mood. As I checked out we were laughing that my last two trips to her shop were before we went to Ireland and France, and this time I was travelling all the way to Calgary!

Once I got to Walmart for my needles I was in and out very quickly. The liquor store was next – again a quick trip for some white wine (a big jug), and some Townsite beer (they have a new-to-me one out). From there I stopped at Dollarama for the invitations; they are next door to Staples so I thought it I couldn’t get them at the dollar store I could probably find more expensive ones at Staples. From there I was on to the Library and the gas station and then home.

By the time I got home I barely had time to get my notes ready for our meeting. Things went well and Annabelle has just left so I’m finally ready to start on some quilting.
