Today was a shopping day. We've decided that the days are resolving into a day when we get something accomplished and a day when we pick up supplies. So, today was a shopping day.
I did manage to get a set of curtains hemmed and make progress on two other projects. But we needed to go to the trailer to pick up a few things and swap out a propane container. So we had lunch at a local bar and grill, who has a gigantic club sandwich, and then took off for the trailer. After we'd checked it out, we stopped at Lowe's and the Container Store on the way home.
To get to the trailer we travel on the Dallas North Tollway. It is a toll way and traffic is usually light. It runs from downtown Dallas to highway 380, where it basically dead ends, which is not uncommon around here.
Most of the highways, either toll or free, have frontage roads their entire lengths. Two lanes, one way, on each side, with lots of businesses along the way. Since they are one way, getting around gets complicated. Especially since the addresses are on the highway. These lanes also serve as on and off ramps and there is usually no merge lane to speak of when getting on the highway. It's a new way of driving. I'm glad we have the big truck!
Big trucks are numerous around here, but not many are blue, so we don't have much trouble spotting it in the paring lot. Steve says we won't need Mickey ears on the antenna. I'm still working on gracefully entering and exiting, but I'm getting there. It does ride nicely.
Tonight the Mavericks are playing at home. Olga has become an avid game watcher and of course Steve and Natasha are watching the game. Here's Steve with Maria.
Obi has taken up Scrappy's habit of telling me when it's time to go to bed. So, please keep warm and safe everyone!
