855 - shopping trip with AJ

Day 855 Britt and I were up and gone by 8:20. Prince Ali was still loading up on beauty sleep. I was very busy again at work. I even worked thru lunch until just after 1 when Amanda and the kids picked me up> We grabbed lunch at A&W and beetled into Calgary where Ada had an appointment to pierce her ears at 2.  Know AJ fear of needles and blood I knew I best go when asked. She did very well ;-) as did Ada for the shocking experience and now can not be mistaken for a boy :-) Next stop was Costco to get Asher his Hulky Man costumed he just could not wait to get. He is such a funny kid. We also grabbed Ada's baptism outfit and some white polox jeans on a screaming sale fore heading back to Strathmore by 5.

the hulk transforms.. good thing he is trapped in a car seat!

Back at the ranch, Sheldon got up and went to town for a massage at 10:15, did a few errands then loaded a load of bales and watered trees once back home.

I dropped off the aged growth ruler at customers house, stopped at Rona and made a deposit at the bank. As I was heading home I thought, heh it is after 5 and the take it or leave is now allowing you take so quickly stopped. Bingo, there were a few things that caught my eye. :-) Unfortunately the "guards" had no sympathy for a damsel dressed in white capris and pretty blue silk tunic. I had to haul all my treasures my self to the car coming home somewhat covered in dust and grime!
As I pulled into the approach there was dust ahead of me, it was Britt heading home from running to town to her work for a key and opening instructions. Sheldon pulled in a few minutes later after dropping off the load of bales to another customer in Caresland. A squall rolled in but was in the end just a few drops in the grande scheme.
my treasures all unloaded.. check out the sweet little oil painting, I shall hang that I think
I LOVE my car, it can seat 7 in comfort, 4 with storage or me with a TON of treasures!!!

The evening was very relaxing with everyone grabbing left overs, Britt made banana muffins. Sheldon kept the tree watering going hoping to keep them all well hydrated before... dare I say impending winter! I have noticed lots of poplars starting to turn some leaves yellow :-( And it is getting dark by 8:30 too.. boo hoo!!
