The mother of one of my swim buddies has Alzheimers and fell over the weekend, breaking shoulder and pelvis. I went by to visit yesterday (mom is in an assisted living facility), and then went today and took my friend to lunch - just to get her out for a little bit. Unfortunately, Mom has not done well through the day. They’ll probably be taking her to the hospital tomorrow.
I saw an ad in the paper for a place in the old part of town near where the gallery was that was selling things like sweat pants for $3.00, t-shirts 10/$5.00, etc. I decided to go see what it was like. It was the site of a wholesales clothes distributor, getting ready to go out of business with their building up for sale, and only open 3 days a week. I got a lovely set of embroidered 1200/count Egyptian cotton sheets for $18.00, and a wind suit, 3 soft light-weight sweat shirts, sweat pants/shirt set, a Wrangler shirt jacket, and two other shirts to wear as jackets for $40.00. It was terrific - this is all new stuff, but just piled up on tables, etc., etc. I’ll be going back, probably with John when he gets home, and then sometime with Margaret. Then I told Vicki and Tina about it, and going back to take them to shop.
So it wound up being a busy day.
