Tuesday - breakfast and a few errands

Hello everyone 




We had a slow morning getting around.  I baked a Dutch Baby for our breakfast and it was delicious!

My husband got new hearing aids from the VA today.  They are rather fancy with lots of parts.  I hope they will help his tinnitus,  we’ve been told they do help some tinnitus cases.  



No photos but I went to Hobby Lobby for some yarn for my mother.  
I also browsed Ollie’s,  it’s a few doors down from HL.  

As I drove around town,  this is our current gas price per gallon at multiple stations.  
I live in Oklahoma,  oil country- and in general, the cost of living here is lower than average
But not for home insurance,  we have some of the highest home insurance because of wind, fire, tornadoes etc.  




After I visited my mother,  I went to 2 thrift stores.  One had all Christmas things 75%off
I bought the snowmen for our current winter themed tree.  
These are all Hallmark ornaments and have the nicest details on all of them.  
I don’t think I’ll hang them on a tree but will set them as a little village.  
They are very detailed front and back.  The bank even has a safe upstairs.  


At the 2nd one,  I found this pretty blouse for me.  I’ve actually been wanting a pink checked blouse.  



This is a screen shot of another pink checked blouse that I saved 4 years ago.  
Now I have one!  And I’m ready for spring.  

I rarely do that many errands in one day and I’m rather tired tonight.

hope you all have had a good day 
❤️Rhonda

not too exciting …….

I’m hoping to blog almost daily and I’ve been somewhat busy but it’s not too interesting written down, 
but here goes

Saturday,  we had a big pile of laundry.  A little dog was our houseguest last week so we had a bit more laundry than usual.  
I’m pretty particular about  sorting laundry ( and nobody is going to change my mind on this). 
So I sorted and got it started.  
8 loads later,  it was all done.  Our bed was made with clean sheets and blankets and all the laundry was put away.  

I made a big salad and peeled a pound of carrots,  the carrots are for snacking or will be cooked with a meal.  
At supper time,  my husband went to Chipotle and got a build your own bundle.  
It was delicious and we’ve been eating it ever since.  


In the sewing room,  I’ve been working on strip quilt blocks.  I want to make 2 matching quilts for our guest room with 2 twin beds.  
I finished 1 quilt top in 2025.  I hope to sew all the blocks for the second quilt and then fully finish both quilts, maybe this month.  
We will see.  

❤️ Rhonda
