Later in the day...

I left the house a little earlier than usual this morning as I needed to make some quick stops before picking up Mary Norton in Sequim.  Luckily, I zipped in and out of every place I needed to go.  Got gas at Safeway, pills at Walmart, mini blind handles at Home Depot and a Christmas present at Penneys.  The clerk talked me into applying for a credit card so I could get 15% discount. 

I looked over their collection of gold chains but even the cheapest one was $20 and I didn't want to spend that much.  I had found a little trinket in my jewelry box that I forgot I had. I've always liked it and decided I wanted to get a chain and start wearing it again.  After our casino lunch, I dropped off Mary and saw a garage sale in her neighborhood. Even though it was pouring down rain, I stopped.  Found a chain for a dollar so I was happy. Came home and put my little doodad on it.

I purchased this little charm at a jewelry store in Port Townsend in the 80's.

Maddie was going to be a hobo for halloween but she changed her mind and decided to be a nerd. Wanted an old pair of my glasses and since I hardly ever throw anything away, I was able to accommodate her.

I managed to leave the casino with $15 more than I walked in the door with so that was good. Can't say the buffet impressed me much, though.  Everything tasted kind of the same. I haven't been all that enthused with their food for quite a while now. At least not their Friday seafood selection.  Frozen tidbits you can fix yourself just as easily at home.

I did talk the girls into posing for a picture though.  I found a picture of us taken ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, and have posted it above today's shot.   I don't think we've changed much. Well, I have a little, I suppose.

Sunday I'm heading into Hadlock for a Halloween party so I plan to take pictures all afternoon.
