Saturday

It's still raining here this morning, but not nearly as hard as last night. A good gentle rain is much better any way.

I heading out this morning to run a couple of errands. I have a package to pick up at the post office, I would be so thrilled if the mailboxes here were larger, or the postman would actually bring back packages on a second day. This running to the post office can really try your patiences. There is a sale at the mall that I'm going to check out, 40% off. Not bad on clothing. Then I need to pick up some new make up, and possibly get my nails done. Much more and I won't be home all day. But I'm thinking optimistically and hope to be home in the early afternoon. I really don't like shopping, but it is a necessary evil sometimes.

I was able to take this shot of a Robin on the side of the road as I was headed out shopping this morning. Not bad for a zoomed in image and it drizzling rain.

Shopping went fairly well. I was able to find a couple of outfits, although I did have to go to four separate stores to put them together. My last stop on the way home was to the nail salon. My nail are all nice and neat once again, and not too long to type.

Walter has been spending the day playing some sort of video game on the television set. It seems to be some sort of Asheron's Call without the internet connection.
