Gathering Graces 8/30/2018

*The morning began with a visit from my friend April in Italy.  We had a wonderful conversation, and I always love talking to her, and getting caught up on her life in Italy!!
*I drove to Coeur d’Alene and had a very successful shopping trip.  After winding my way through the road construction on Government Way, I started out my shopping day at Michaels and purchased some items for VIPKID.  Then I went to Office Depot/Office Max and purchased some more items.  Then it was down to Target to stock up on more much needed items. 
*I came to town in need of three specific clothing items, and JC Penney did not disappoint.  I found all three items, and got some good deals besides.  Woo! Hoo!!
*My final stop was at Costco to stock up on food for the next month or so.  Once this stop was done, it was time to head for home.
*Once I put everything away, I jumped on my bike and headed down to the Silver Valley Farmer’s Market.  What a lovely evening.  I first saw my friend Sue Dahlberg and her husband Cleve listening to Ethereal in E, and had a nice visit with Sue.  I purchased a Lavendar and Honey Kombucha Popsicle from Booch so Rad.  Tonight he had bottled Kombucha, and he was completely sold out by the end of the night.  Radley is quite the entrepreneur!!
*It was also nice visiting with Karen Wilson Hulstrom.  We talked about what I was doing since retiring, and some plans for the future.  It was nice catching up with her.
*I also had a wonderful visit with Nancy Larsen.  She had a table set up, and was giving away some chairs she had painted, and giving all Kellogg School District employees a chance to win them.  At each vendor, there were purple tickets employees could fill out to win.  What a great idea!! 
*Paul showed up around 6:15 p.m.  He had been at the KHS Open House/BBQ tonight.  He joined me in my stroll around through the market.
*Strolling through the market is just a great thing to do.  I visit with people, buy a few items, and enjoy the atmosphere.  I am so excited it has been such a success this summer.
