Yesterday was great! The first thing I did was drive over to get Timmy washed.
I then decided to go around to a few second hand thrift stores.
It was there at the Goodwill that I found Jesus:
Actually, I found him twice:
I also found this awesome Cigar collector's item. I was going to get it, until I realized that it was $50!!! (Sorry for the glare on the glass.)
I went around to a few more second hand stores.
It was unfortunate that the City of Hope Thrift Store closed at 3pm, because I really wanted to get a better look at this painting!
After all the thrift store hunting I decided to get an ice-cream. You might be thinking "Ice-cream in the middle of winter?!" Let me mention to you that it was 85 degrees out!!!
I then went home to put the "shower curtain" fabric (that I picked up at one of the thrift stores) to good use. It was a 2 minute project that was super simple. I measured the width of the window in my bathroom. The cut the fabric to the size I wanted.
Because it "used" to be a shower curtain, I didn't need to sew anything. I kept the part where the shower rod goes through at the top of the fabric so that I could easily hang it on the metal rod in the window.
Then I got lots of kitty love!
Spunky doesn't really like it when I take photos of her. She also doesn't really like more than 10 minutes of "kitty loving" time.
I started reading the first book from my list (see #19):
I didn't get to read much of it because I had to meet M and his "grandfather" for dinner. To get there, I had to sit in a lot of traffic!
But it was in that traffic that Jesus sent a message to me:
I know it's a terrible photo and it's difficult to make out. In my defense, I was driving while trying to shoot the photo. It was written on the back of a semi-truck. It says "I'll be back to get you. Love, Jesus."
I thought it was nice of Jesus to use the semi-truck driver to tell me that. I tried to wave down the driver of the semi-truck to give him a message. I only wanted the driver to relay this little message to Jesus for me: "Jesus, I'm glad you're coming back for me, but please don't make it soon. I'm enjoying myself here! How about you come for me in, say, 65 years?" Unfortunately, the driver just thought I was trying to make him honk. I yelled the message out as loud as I could. Hopefully the truck drive's honk got Jesus' attention and he my message anyhow. I guess I'll just have to wait and find out.
It sounds/looks like you had one heck of a day! PS Love your sunglasses
