Today's low was a chilly 43...again and a balmy 66 was the high AND there was no wind. A teeny-tiny breeze sighed around in the afternoon but for most of the morning it was windless which made the sunny cool temperatures feel real nice.
We got a late start this morning, but Larry went out saying he was just going to do a couple laps, but he ended up doing four. We went over for coffee where I showed off my latest creations. Coffee went longer than usual, but no problem...not like we had any appointments...smile.
We decided to go to Walmart, but on the way I needed to go to Jo-anne's...more yarn. While over there we went into the little post office counter at Hallmark and bought some 2 cent stamps in preparation for the postage increase in a few months...plus we just needed some 1 cent stamps too. We don't mail much mail anymore....you can tell when there are two or three price increases in the time it takes to go through a roll of stamps. Not buying rolls anymore!
Heading from the mall to the Pacific Ave. Walmart we made the mistake of taking the 3rd ave. exit off the interstate instead of taking the surface streets. If you are in Yuma during the winter NEVER take the third avenue exit off of Highway 8. It is nonstop trucks and crazy, rude, weird other drivers. We saw some crazy stuff in the 15 minutes it took us to get through the lights there...the cops are missing a huge money maker by not sitting there and ticketing all the illegal stuff going on there...it would keep two officers busy, easily. Too much traffic, badly timed lights and the roadway gets squeezed down because of a bridge over the train tracks and it is a huge trucking corridor.
We did the Walmart thing and then headed back home, got everything put away and then went through the mail we received from Ukiah today. The rest of the evening was spent on the computer, having a few conversations with my sister Lori, and Larry and I talking about what we think we want to do when we leave here. That changes daily!
I forgot the camera again, there are carpets of purplish flowers everywhere since the rains!
