We went to Home Depot the other day to
check out blinds. Window, not duck. Chris wants something to cover the windows in
our back den/dining area. Not that she
doesn’t want windows there. She’s
thinking in terms of blocking some of the summer heat and helping with summer
electric bills, which in Galveston can get pretty steep. Lots of options, from traditional ones that
operate with strings and pulleys, to Roman shades that you just push up and
pull down, to remote control operated, to my favorite – ones that open from the
top or bottom. So … no purchase. Chris is still thinking about it. We did come home with six plots of grass
sod. And in case you missed it … it has
been really hot outside the last few days.
We also went to Palais Royal’s Huge 40% Off
Everything Sale. Everything in the store
was 40% off. Well, at least until you
checked out. That’s when you find out
that, actually, everything was either 40% or 20% off … of the things that were
actually on sale, which some things were not.
I was confused. Forgive me for
being a literalist in such matters. I
did get some shorts and Chris got a bathing suit. That should set us up for kids camp. Oh, and everything we bought was 40%
off. Just lucky, I guess …
Maybe our luck will hold during our trip
into Texas either today or tomorrow. We
need to make a Sam’s and Lifeway run for the church before the big P, B, &
J Breakfast fundraiser on Saturday (That’s Pancakes, Bacon, and Jesus). The first two are self- explanatory. The last will take some music by Mr. Jim and
some Seaside hospitality by … Seasiders.
Come eat with us Saturday morning, 8-11.
It’ll be too crowded to go into town anyway.
2 Corinthians 4:16 says, “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet
inwardly we are being renewed day by day.”
Father, thank you for the window of
40%-ness we stumbled upon. Every little
bit helps. Amen.
