Waffle House Date

Hi, I just had another fun date with hubby…….

Waffle House

Kevin wakes up each morning early. Sunday’s are no different. This Sunday he had to run by his work to lay blankets over concrete just poured the day before. As usual Kevin came in the room to kiss me goodbye. I asked if I could tag along. Surprisingly he said yes. One of the quickest mornings I got ready!

First had to get gas. Next off to wash his truck. Kevin does not like his picture taken. So if I do take one, I have to be creative or sneaky- take your pick.

Another surprise, as we were approaching the waffle house; he pulled in. Breakfast was delicious. While Kevin was pulling the blankets over the concrete he instructed me to now walk on the newly poured pathway. My shoes had just enough heel to indent into the surface.

It’s just been this past year that I have gone with Kevin to his job site. Now with the kids out of the house and it’s just me and Kevin, we are doing more together. Not so much as the dates when we were younger as just spending time together, quality time. I can see why these are called the Golden Years.

The images above are amazing compared to my first visit. The steeple was on the original portion of the church. It was moved during the addition remodel. The other images are of the portion of the remodel from out of the ground. During Christmas there was no roof and the floor was gravel. No doors were in place and no windows- just plastic hanging. I made another request for Kevin to take me when it has been completed.

What did you do on your most recent date?

Hi, I had the best day with my granddaughters! My daughter’s maternity leave over, returning to work- I had the great pleasure of spending the day with the girls. Trying not to use the word babysit- I like to think of this as dates with my girls.

It’s amazing how fast time goes the older I become. Brynlee is 6 weeks old. It was just yesterday she was born…….

Take Care.

Kmart Closing – a Very Sad Day

Hi, what a sad day for me. I heard Kmart is closing one of it’s stores that I frequent quite often. Most every time I visit my daughter I just have to make a stop at the North Topeka Kmart. There is a Wal-Mart just across the roadway, but I like the smaller less crowded discount store.

When I heard of the closing, I drove to Topeka without making plans to visit my daughter- imagine that! The sales were good, but not like the ones I experienced when the Lawrence Kmart closed. The actual store closing will be in April. There will be plenty of time to check out the specials. My focus will be on electronics and a few furniture pieces- baby crib and such!

This visit I was on a mission for flannel sheets and a coat/jacket I had seen just before Christmas. Score….Both were on sale- they are in my cart! On my next stops, I will be looking for items I can use in my next home. Will explain more in a new post about the “next” home.

Do you have a preference- Kmart or Wal-Mart and why do you like that store?
