Sunday Shopping Spree

For some reason, we went on a shopping spree today. Maybe spending yesterday at home caused it. It was going to be simple expedition, Home Depot and a photo art show. We end up with five stops.

The first stop was Home Depot. This was required because the plastic nuts on the faucet we put in last September cracked the plastic nuts that tighten it down. One of them fell of while I was washing the Pie R Square shawl for blocking. We checked both nuts were cracked. We now have nylon nuts with washers to put on. These should last until the faucet breaks. While we were at Home Depot the gas grills were eyed. There is discussion about going back for one.

Stop number two was Black and Read, I was very restrained but could resist a cookbook. With a title like 'A Man, A Can, A Plan', I had to look at it. There actually are a couple of recipes suitable for us, low calorie, low fat, and not high in sodium. And then there are the crazy recipes with over 1000 calories per serving. At least you know what you are doing to yourself ahead of time. Since it is a used book, it was about half price and what's not to like about that.

Stop number three was the Fifth Annual Lone Tree Photographic Art Show & Sale. As art shows go we would be willing to have any number of the pictures in our house. The limiting factor is price. We did pick up a couple of prints that were matted but not framed.

The Strawberry Tree was stop number four. I haven't been there for years. I am not sure if it is two or three. Of course some yarn followed me home, two balls of bright blue bamboo, 1 grey ball of Karbella's Lace yarn, and an aqua blue skein of lace weight (~1500 yards). Got to chat with a couple of knitters I have seen for several months.

The last stop was supper at a new seafood restaurant, Bonefish Grill. We tried to go yesterday but it was an hour wait. By arriving at four, we were seated promptly and had a delicious meal.
