Tried to nap...just about to doze and DH texted me. :laugh:


:nah: Isn't there a local owned produce place/stand??
There are "farmer's markets", 2 locations in the city where I work. In season, they have locally grown things, otherwise they have the same as the groc. stores, or WM. They also carry bakery stuff. :drool:
Beat the bushes gal, surely there's a better way that WM. :2c:
Especially on a weekend.

If that link doesn't work for you...go to FB - Belleville Farmers Market

Sorry about your nap :(

Yep, we hit the produce stand on Saturdays for all our meats and fruits/veggies. They do carry some groceries but not a lot and what they do have is pretty expensive. We go to WM on Sunday mostly for non perishables, dairy, household stuff. Just so happened we needed toothpaste and a few other things but we went later than normal because we were still cleaning.


Good afternoon lurkers:wub::wub::wub:

Good afternoon Bobbi :wub: Hope you're well.

    Ugh.
    :laugh:

    I've eaten, burger is cooked and cooling for packaging and stupid me started clipping the dog ... had no idea her hair grew in so many different directions! :shock: She's about half done :lol:

    Quick flyby, on the way home from the madness of Walmart. Will we never learn to go every Sunday as soon as DH gets home from church. It was complete and utter madness. :eek: So happy to be out of there.

    Stopping for gas since the tank is half full/empty ;)
    Go early or don't go at all!! :laugh:

    Good afternoon lurkers:wub::wub::wub:
    Good afternoon Bobbi :wub: How are you? :)

    I'm doing ok, just takes time I guess.;) Thanks for asking though.

    No snow here Sara, just thought it was appropriate for how crazy everyone's weather has been lately! Friday was cold and wet, Saturday was cool and windy, today it is just plain hot...:facepalm: How do you plan for the weather this year!:rolleyes:

    Oh, okay. Welp, unless you have a nice Dollar General.
    Gal, I don't know, but I do all I can to avoid WM, sometimes it's a must though.
    Sometimes, it's perceived savings too. :2c: Sale items at the regular groc stores are often priced as low, sometimes lower, I've found anyway.
    Just hate that you have to make that weekly trip, that's all.

    "Yes, contrary to what some may think, wild strawberries are not poisonous. In fact, the berries are edible and tasty. There is, however, a similar plant, called Indian mock strawberry, which has yellow flowers (rather than white), that produces berries with little to no flavor" - via gardeningknowhow.com :)

    ...he said they had yellow flowers. :laugh: :cry: :nah:

    Hopefully you'll get stronger, and stronger everyday. :nun:
    You just change clothes a lot. :laugh: I've been taking a light jacket/sweater to work with me...we all have different comfort zones regarding temps. :oops:

    Gave myself a FULL ON pedicure!! :banana: Just need to apply coat #2 of polish. ;)

    I worked on SOME of them. :facepalm:
    Have 16 total to do, so it's taking awhile, my motivation leaves me after the third panel. :unsure: I allowed 4 panels for each above patio doors, and patio size windows.
    Two downstairs, two upstairs.

    Yeah. :(
    1st world problem though. ;) It's been about 15 years since I've changed them out.
    I sewed the last ones, so that was a lot more work that just pressing.
    But I doubt I could've found fabric for the price I got these for. I'd have had to hunt all over, that's for sure, and places just don't carry fabric like they used to 15 years ago. :(
