Run-Around Wednesday

Despite it being the boys' late start morning today, it was also a hit-the-ground-running morning, if I wanted to get my appointed errands done and get back in time to meet Jazzy's bus.  I went up to the Lowe's in Port Orchard to get a replacement toilet seat for the downstairs toilet (romantic, I know), a couple different types of hooks to hang things, and to take a quick look at trellises for under the back deck, to protect the backsides of garden beds I plan on planting from the local marauding rabbits.  (Wonderful Husband: "How will you protect them from the other side?"  Me: "I'm planting a 2-3" wide border of chives.")

After I finished that errand, I had a little time to kill, so I wandered over to St. Vinnie's and came away with the following:

That plus four half-cup canning jars set me back $4.09.  The stripe is two yards and will go either into the Civil War stuff, or into the pile of striped fabric, not sure which yet.

(And, yes, I made it back in plenty of time to meet Jazzy's bus.  I took his scooter with me today, since yesterday I had to carry him the Entire. Way. Home.  Since it's mostly uphill, he tired of scooting quickly, but was happy enough to just stand on the scooter while I kept one hand on his back and pushed.  We got home a lot quicker than usual.  Win!)
