Life in a small Texas town is wonderful! The cold wind that blew all day yesterday dried the ranch out enough that we were able to drive the truck OUT and we went to TOWN!
Mart is about 25 miles from Waco.
Due to the RAIN and MUDDY conditions down on the ranch the coin laundry was our FIRST stop!!
We had some mail to go out and lunch at the local diner.
A little shopping at the Dollar store.
The old fashioned Creme Drops are the very first candy I buy for the holiday season.
Usually Mother is with me and I buy TWO bags - one for me and one for her.
Mother always bought these when I was a little girl and it has remained a tradition.
The other thing she always bought us was a peppermint candy basket. Those are harder to find now!
Back to the ranch and straight to work on the bathroom! I wanted to get this done before Sherry (my DIL) arrived!
The staining is the easiest part and also the scariest part!
Louis Dean worked on his project at closing in the plumbing works for the bathtub.
We are missing a piece of woodwork but I finished out what we had.
I also picked up a shower curtain that I thought looked good with what we had going!
Got a little rug from the Dollar store as well as a lamp shade.
I love prettying things up!!
The doors turned out so nice!!
Before.....
and after!
Mart may be a small town but it had a couple of little thrift shops and I shopped both!
That's where I found the fall decorations for the bathroom.
On our way OUT of town I spotted another shop and will visit there next trip down!
Here's what I found for ME!!!
Three brand new purses! $2 each!!!
Win! WIN!
I already switched out my things to the pink purse!!
The day is closing. Some of the people are already arriving for the Karate Retreat tomorrow.
Louis Dean and I are in the camper along with Lucy - who had to have a bath first!!
While I am doing my journaling Louis Dean serenades me with music.
I'm glad we came on down here when we did so we had the time to fix up the bathroom for Sherry.
Men don't understand PRETTY like ladies do.
The hard stuff was already done and Dean had moved on to OTHER hard stuff!
What I'm good at is making something 'pretty!'
I know Sherry is not one to 'decorate' like I do.......so I hope the pumpkin and such isn't too much for her!
I'm thinking .......I'll be back for Thanksgiving week. I could bring Christmas decorations and switch them out. Think she'll notice??? Perhaps I can become her 'Bathroom Fairy Godmother!'
