It's been another day of just this and thats.
Started the day going to the Farmers Market and bumping into my aunt and uncle there. I loved seeing them looking so well. My uncle is 87 and walks several miles a day. He's got better cholesterol and blood pressure levels than everybody else.
Bumped into a neighbor who lost his wife a couple of years ago. He now plays piano at the hospice where his wife stayed for a time before she passed away. We were going to watch him play today but things got in the way. We promised to go another time.
Art's friend came over with salmon collars, eggs, stomach and fillets that he caught in Alaska. He just missed Art taking my mom to see the dentist for an appointment that opened up suddenly.
I saw Abe Lincoln's comment on my post yesterday about checking online for bedroom suites since we couldn't find something we liked here in Hawaii.
I took his advice and found a set that Art and I both agreed on at Haiku Designs. (Just in case you're looking, Hiro is the one we're thinking of getting...maybe.) HOWEVER... and there had to be a HOWEVER... I know there's going to be a crazy exorbitant shipping fee. There always is, to Hawaii. The website said they would notify me about the shipping cost and then we could decide whether we wanted to go through with it. It's awfully scary to buy something without actually touching it and seeing it in person. The website said if you don't like it you could send it back, but you'd be charged the shipping fee... again.
Well... we'll see.
I'm going to Aerobics for our first lesson tomorrow with my high school friend, Joanne. Let's see... there's my water bottle, my mat, my towels, my shorts and top. I feel like it's the first day of school.

A fun day in Hawaii. Beats teaching, doesn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteSalmon collars?! What is that?? And stomach? eeuw
Have fun at aerobics. Wish I could join you.
You're pretty brave, you know that, Kay. I wouldn't have the guts to purchase furniture sight unseen. Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteYour 87 yr. old uncle who walks several miles,wow...i was reading out this to Chandan,,,now he wants to increase his miles too.I am really looking forward for your aerobics class...on line shopping might be a good idea.Good luck.
ReplyDeleteWell, if I had the money, I would lend it to you for the bedroom suite. As far as walking goes, I used to walk around the block with my dog, Autumn Eve. When she died in 2006 I stopped walking. I couldn't bear walking where we walked together for so many years. Through ice and snow and freezing rain and howling winds. Wow. We became more than best friends. So my lungs went to hell and my belly began to grow and while I used to fit comfortably in 40 waist size pants I am not up to 44 and my belts dig in a new waist line or I got to wear suspenders. Not a good life for me but it is the only one I got and I got to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteI think you can buy insurance for things like purchasing online. If you don't like it for any reason, the insurance policy pays off and you send it back. It is worth investigating.
Thanks for your visit to my Pick a Peck of Pixels Blog and for your comment there about Japanese trains and the toilets. And your visit helps me get closer to my original goal: 10,000 visits. Pick a Peck of Pixels
ya, aerobics is fun..enjoy yourself..
ReplyDeleteHave fun at aerobics today!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day and have fun at aerobics!
ReplyDeletedon't overdo at aerobics....I do water aerobics-it's so much easier on your body. Good luck with shopping online-it's always a challenge, but you guys are experienced shoppers.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the shipping costs and finding something you like if that doesn't work out. The day sounds like fun; your uncle's an inspiration! I think I'll get outside and get some walking done this evening when I sign off.
ReplyDeleteI hope aerobics is fun tomorrow; I smiled to see you call it 'like the first day of school' because tomorrow is my last baby's first day of school (special-needs so she's going early, at 3). I just hung her dress up and packed her bag; time to go polish up her shoes. Good luck to both of you tomorrow!
I enjoyed looking at all the wonderful bedroom sets....nice choice you've made or hope to make!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the aerobics class. I´ve taken one for 12 years already, and it keeps you feeling young!
ReplyDeletefantastic news that you found a platform bed, Kay, thanks to Abe. It looks really stylish...wonder if you could check any customer references/reviews?
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice bumping into people you like. You'll have to tell us (me) what salmon collars, and stomachs are and how to cook them. I have an idea but would really like to know for sure.
ReplyDeleteThe furniture over at Haiku Designs is beautiful, love the clean lines and simplicity.
I love all of them, but your choice is really beautiful in its simplicity... I hope it won't cost too much..but it probably will...
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love our blogger...they are so full of info and more that happy to share!
ReplyDeleteLove you choice for the bed. I'm sure that you'' love it!
