Still Winter

The weekend gave us a breather from the COLD. Temp got above freezing for a few days. Back to cold yesterday. Cold is an understatement. The high was 6 and that was right away in the morning. The wind was blowing 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 50. Adding to the mix was a little snow. Really ugly day. Today is still cold but without the wind.

On Saturday, I went to Christoper & Banks and spent my gift certificate from Tammie and Randy. I don't want to add to the 8 billion $$ that doesn't get spent. Of course I spent more than the certificate, but "everything was on sale". Utechts decided to go to Sioux City on Sunday, so after church they picked me up and away we went. Jerry opted to stay home and watch golf on TV (he hates shopping). Not really needing anything, my quest was for bargains. It is not a bargain if you don't need it, but "need" is the operative word when seeking bargains. My big finds of the day were at Gordman's. I have to wear a hat when I golf and always look for new ones. They had a pink hat with Herbie Husker on it originally $18.00, Gordman price $9.00, marked down to $5.00 and a deal on Sunday all clearance merchandise 1/2 price off lowest price. Net for my cap $2.50. I also got a sweatshirt original price was around $32.00 marked down to $9.00 clearance, net $4.50.

I did get my t-shirt quilt all tied. Now I have to finish it off. Disadvantage of being short - I have 2 jackets that need the sleeves shortened and a pair pants to shorten. Guess these are projects to work on while the weather is cold.

Spring is coming.
