Wednesday, November 7

Yesterday after breakfast Cowboy wanted more coffee.  Shortly he was cussin' and yelling and I discovered he has spilled a complete cup of coffee on him, the chair, the rug and the tile floor.   We got it all cleaned up and a new cup of coffee for him but I had a bit of mess on the new rug.  Fortunately it is brown so I am thinking we may have a minimal visible issue.  Will have to arrange to have it cleaned but I think we got a good deal of it up.  I could tell he felt a bit bad about the whole thing.

We went so I could vote in the PM and then we went to Lowe's and bought some pansies.  I let him take the lead and he picked all yellow with purple centers.  He had said he wanted 4 plants in each of 3 pots which is 12 plants but then insisted we buy  two flats which is 24 plants.

It turned into a lovely afternoon.  The weather was beautiful, he was really into planting the pansies and I let him do the whole job.  He seemed to really enjoy the whole thing and we now have 3 large pots with 4 pansies in each pot on our patio.  I don't know what we are going to do with the rest of them.

Today Tracy came and I had my day out.  I went and got some things at the drug store, then went to Kohl's to see what I could spend a 30% off coupon on.  Couldn't find much, but did buy a holiday guest towel and some little clear glass angels that light up with different colors.  I seem to be drawn to angels this year.

I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond with a 20% off coupon but didn't come up with anything.  Don't seem to be into shopping today.

I had seen a really pretty lighted angel for outdoor Christmas decor at Garden Ridge so went back and bought it.  Most of what we had was thrown away last year.  Two reasons:  it was in poor condition and I  couldn't do the set up by myself.  I think I can set the angel up by myself without difficulty.

I then treated myself to lunch at Applebee's .  They have a lunch of soup and salad that is smaller portions and is very tasty.  It seems strange to go into a sit down restaurant alone but I enjoyed the lunch.

Back to town and to the grocery store and then home. 

Cowboy asked me about his watch (which I had kind of forgotten about) and was upset that I had not taken it "downtown" to have it repaired.  I apologized and promised we would take it Friday.  I have a gig Friday at 11 and am thinking we will take the watch to a jeweler after that. 

Talked to our youngest daughter last night and invited them for Thanksgiving  but she has to work the day after (German company, different rules).

Today I talked to one of our grandsons but they are expecting company  and invited us up there.  I am not really sure Cowboy could handle a three hour each way trip to their place, so guess will come up with something here at home.

This afternoon Cowboy spent a lot of time in the guest bathroom and presented me with a pair of soiled shorts afterward.  I wish I could him to wear the throwaways.  The laundry issues are a pain.
