Keeping busy while waiting.....

I have been delayed on getting my vitamins that I usually take and have felt like I was dragging for the last several days. I had intended on picking them up in OK when I went to visit Susan but now that that trip has been canceled because of the bank card issue, I won't be going after my year's supply of vitamins as well. I have taken these same liquid vitamins since going on the truck with my husband in Jan of 2002. I was one of their first hundred or so customers.

Anyway I called the company and was told the TA at x 68 on I-30 east of Dallas carried them. They would cost more but at least I could get a bottle to get me through. So Friday I pulled together enough cash to get my Lady Blue fueled up and get my vitamins. I got there, fueled,  and went to look for the stand with the attendant who sells the vitamins at this particular TA. I found the stand, but the attendant was nowhere to be found.... just a small sign with a phone numner to call if you wanted to make a purchase. Sooooo, I called and got a viocemail saying to leave a msg. I ...left ....a .... msg. This is Monday evening. My call was never returned. No vitamins. Nada. There is a slim chance I can pick some up at another TA when I leave here. Don't cha just love it when life hands you all these little irritating little monkey-wrenches one right after another?? Just got to plow through and weather the storm, find something good to keep yourself occupied till the storm passes.....

 

Sunday afternoon Daughter's family and I met with cousin Connie and husband Bud over near Fort Worth and had a nice visit and dinner at golden Corral. Connie and I both like GC pretty well and it was not too far from their home. After that we stopped back at the ATT store and they finally conceded that my wi-fi unit was not working properly, and replaced it with a new one. I tried it out this morning and all the issues I had with the other one were gone. This one is working perfectly! So now that problem is solved.  I have been knitting in the evenings. I have about 4" to go and this pair of socks for D-I-Lwill be done. The Grand sometimes comes out to the RV and will watch a movie with me. Last night we watched "The Willows in Winter", a grand old classic.

This morning after walking the dogs, having breakfast and putting in a load of laundry, I got out my paint and went to work again on the painting of my grandson's piano lesson. I spent a good 4 - 5 hrs on it, working mainly on the checked shirt the piano teacher was wearing. This painting is quite different for me than my usual landscapes  but so far I am pleased with the results. This evening daughter and I went to another thrift store and I found another "working" string of Christmas lights, some clips to hold it to the awning, and a garland for over my doorway. Also found a few more VCR tapes; some oldies, but goodies.

 

Yay! I got my new bank card in the mail this afternoon, so now I can be on my way moseyin' over to Tucson, AZ. Want to make a couple stops along the way. Thinking about the Alamo, maybe...

I will be leaving here Wed morning. Bet my S-I-L will be glad to have my RV out of his driveway, LOL.

 Oh yes.... now I can call and have my vitamins shipped to my brother's home in Tucson!

 

Well, I'm tired so goodnight to all.

Pleasant dreams and safe travels!
