My Day Today

Jean picked me up around 9:15 am and we went over to the Patrick Henry Middle School in Granada Hills for the “Crafty Ladies” semi-annual craft fair. There was a lot of people there. Jean used to go there every year but had not gone for about 2 years. It was my first time there. They had a lot of cute things and Jean bought about 5 or 6 things. I only bought 1 thing and that was a Microwavable Baked Potato Pouch. I hate waiting 45 minutes to an hour for a baked potato in the regular oven and when I try to cook them in the microwave, the insides don't always cook all the way and the skins dry out. These pouches are supposed to make the “perfect” baked potato in the microwave after only 5 minutes. Several people at the craft fair said they use them and have given them as Christmas gifts. When we left the school, we headed back to Santa Clarita and went to Bed, Bath & Beyond. I wanted to buy a new egg poaching pan and they had one on sale. It is a Farberware, so it is a good brand. It was $19.99 and I had a $5.00 off coupon. Then we went to PetSmart, but didn't buy anything there. Had lunch at Alamo Rotisserie which is a little Mexican restaurant. On the way home, Jean wanted to stop at the new Harbor Freight store that just opened. Since our Orchard Supply Hardware closed down, we don't have any good small hardware stores in town anymore, so we wanted to check them out. Got home around 1:30 pm and Hiker jump all over me and kissed me. Was 92° on my patio when I got home. Hope it cools down again. Jean and I are going to take off again in the morning and go to the Saugus Swap Meet. Hiker is not going to like me leaving her again.

My friend Jean and my other neighbor Chris talked me into a fake tattoo at the party
