More Feathers

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 30 degrees, high 63 degrees, clear skies

Even though we're about 850 miles away from the new home base in north Alabama, we're still looking for stuff so Carolyn can line her new nest. Today, we went up to Sam's Club in Sugarland to check out some things that Carolyn wanted to get for the base. It had been several years since we had been up in the Sugarland area, and like most areas around Houston, it has really changed. More homes, businesses, roads, schools..... Texas is probably one of the few states that's still creating jobs during the recession that was supposed to be over in the summer of 2009.

The Sam's Club in Sugarland is one of the biggest ones we have been in, and Carolyn managed to find a few things that she liked. We bought those items to take back with us when we leave here. Now, we only have about 101 more things to find and buy. Like, dishes, silverware, bed clothes.... Oh, and don't forget the television. I guess that will be my department to take care of.

Lori gave me a copy of Consumer's Report that gives the ratings on televisions, as well as many other household electronics. Reading the reports has expanded my knowledge of what would be the best buys, if I can find the same items. I think I will have fun picking out what I ultimately buy. Almost as much fun as Carolyn is having in feathering her nest.

When we got back home from Sugarland, we decided to do some napping and meditation, as we were tired from the long drive. Later in the day, I did a couple of chores on the truck and in the basement. Then, we went to visit my brother Terrell and his wife Kathy. They will be seeing doctors in Houston all day tomorrow, and leave here early Friday morning on their way back to their home in Maryville, Tennessee.

The last stop before heading home was at Lori's house, as we visited her and the kids for a few minutes. We made a date to have lunch at K-2 Restaurant on Saturday. Then it was back home for supper and a little television before bedtime. Another day of visits and stuff in South Texas.

More later, be safe.
