As I write, yet another frontal boundary is fast approaching the Hampton Roads area. They are c
alling for strong storms, high winds and of course, a lot of rain. We still need the rain so I say bring it on! Although I can do without the earth-shattering lightning and thunder in the middle of the night. The type that wakes you up because your windows rattle. But, if we must endure a little unsettling to get the rain, I guess I'll have to learn to deal with it.
Today was another beautiful day. I, like a fool, had to go to the oceanfront to visit a store (its only location) and of course, got stuck in all of the Shamrock Marathon traffic. They had the main strip closed off (Atlantic Avenue) and traffic from Pacific back a few blocks was just awful. But again, I got through that. Got my goods and managed to make my other stops during the day and get home by 3pm. Got to see my Mom too! A bonus. I called her and stopped for a cup of coffee. 'Twas a good day.
Visited the new "Super Target" store a few blocks away. I have to say I was not impressed. I guess the "super" part is a small food section with mostly freezer cases and some "grab it on the way home stuff" like milk and eggs. But with Wal-Mart right next door, I would most likely stop in there for the convenience (I know where everything's at in the store) and the prices. Other than that, it was just another Target store. And now we get to enjoy yet even more traffic around the neighborhood. Hubby and I were talking the other day about how we felt so far away from everything when we moved here 15 years ago. Now it's like fighting traffic around a major shopping mall at Christimas - every weekend. Best get out and do what you have to do before noon and get home before it gets too crazy! We pride ourselves on our sanity so far.
I think I'm going to get in the art room for a little while and work on some of my "slumped" bottles. I miss my paint brushes!
Ciao.
