THE BIG TOWN

I DID IT! I DID IT! I DID IT! I took a few weeks to psych myself up and then I took the plunge. I drove to THE BIG TOWN and back - ALL BY MYSELF. I was so proud of myself. I prayed lots before going and while on the way. When I got there, I paused in the car and said out loud "I can't believe I did it, Thank you Lord". I even drove 100 on the highway and I wasn't too nervous. Yipee! I've got wings, I can fly. This little birdie has left the nest.

I didn't drive in the big town as I am not used to a lot of traffic yet but I went shopping on the large department stores just outside of town. One of these days I may even try going to THE BIG CITY and back. That will take a whole lot of psyching up to do and loads and loads of prayers as that is about 50 kilometres away. Soon winter will be here and this little birdie is going to hibernate I think.

On my BIG shopping trip I spent a little fortune. I got a fold up wooden table I wanted. It has 4 fold up chairs that hide inside and the whole thing folds up to a small table that can fit against a wall. I am going to be using it for an island and then if I get company, I will open it up to a bigger table. The price tag on it was $269.00 and when I went to the check out they said they had just lowered the price that day, so it was only $199.00. Yipee! What a deal. Then I got two shorage units (for shoes, but I will use for crafts) a fold up table for my craft room and some storage baskets for my shelves.

I left one store and went across the street to another big store. There I found a patio set on sale (In store deal) for $149.99 It is a round glass table with umbrella, 4 metal chairs with padded cushions. All really pretty. I also bought a 3 seater swing for $129.00. I've always wanted a nice set like this and could never afford it.

For the past few days I have been enjoying my new purchases. I sit out on the swing and read and swing. I am going to be known as a swinger of a grandmother.
Soon the little grandkids will be arriving and I am so very excited about it. Can hardly wait.

Please say a prayer that both grandkids will be strong and healthy and there will be no complications with any of the mothers giving birth. I thank you in advance.

Must get busy and clean my house before the arrival of the little ones.

Hope you have a freeing day.
