Shopping still exists !

Woo Hoo !

I drove to the next large town over today to take care of some business, and upon leaving my appointment, I saw the local Hobby Lobby store.   So, I thought I'd just stop in since the hubby told me to spend some money on something I wanted for a change.  Let me tell you, I think I heard the angels sing when I walked into that store.   Well, maybe not angels........possibly it was just me singing inside !

Seriously, though, it was the funniest feeling.  Not trying to put my hometown down, but I have become so used to NO SHOPPING except for the local Super Walmart, which, frankly, although I'm thankful we have ANYTHING, is a joke for that name..........that something lifted inside of me when I saw the inside of that store.  It was like I had come home again........to Midwest City, OK, where me, Kelley, and hubby always went to have a little fun and spend a little money.

I perused much of the store, but wound up where I knew I would, in the fabric department.  When I saw the army fabric, I thought of how my buddy, JoAnn (known around here as 'anonymous'), said that this fabric was getting hard to get and that she had gotten the last bit that Midwest City had.   So, I bought the last that Columbia had, 1 yard !  I bought a couple of yards of green solid to go with it, thinking that I'll make T.J.'s quilt reversible too, using these fabrics for the other side.  The green looks nothing like it photographed here, but if it's going to look that way in photos, I may have to consider a different fabric to go with the army print.

I couldn't resist getting a half-yard of the wording fabric........there's a whole series of Faith fabric that goes with it, but the one that has squares with sayings is printed crooked, as squares almost always are.  So disappointing.......it would have made a great lap quilt with frames sewn around each Bible verse. 

Stopped in to see hubby, just in time to watch him get his bath, and turn his lunch away......twice !   That poor girl went and got him a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup after watching him push away the tray with brocolli-chicken and noodles, and mashed potatoes.........and he still didn't eat.  I left him trying to nap. 

He said that he walked the entire hall today, using a walker, and it got easier with each step..........but once he sat in the wheelchair for 30 minutes, his muscles tightened up and were painful again.

I think I'll try to get a nap and then work on the T blocks again. 

See ya !
