I volunteered from 9-12 and then went to Shiela and ordered cinnamon rolls. I met Susan for lunch at the Farmacy. Denny cut off the legs of 2 chairs that were taller than regular chairs. He moved the tools that he used to the garage. We moved the LR coffee table to the basement. I added leaves to the table. Nice phone call from Sherry tonight.

Olive Branch
I headed north around 8 and spent the day volunteering at Olive Branch. Nice bunch of gals!! They thought they might be short handed and so I stayed until they opened at 4-7. Carol T came and picked up 2 shelves/ book cases. It was great to visit with Carol and Judd. I headed to Storm Lake to look at riegtigerators at Melanders. I called Denny while I drove there, he said he fixed outs. YES!! I turned around. and went back to help. Eve and I were the only ones there at noon and we made a management decision and moved at table to replace a table filled with Christmas items. We used that table to hold clearance items.

Beautiful snowy morning. Denny did a lot of figuring and pondering and deciding. And we went to IG to Bomgaars. He was so happy not to have decide which of the impact wrenches he should get ... HE JUST GOT BOTH ... When we got home he started on moving the wires/ plug in from the hall-to -the-basement to the good coat closet. I watched tv.

Laura to Moville
We set the alarm, so we could get Laura to Moville. She is going to her granddaughter's graduation from nursing school. We went to SC afterwards where Denny got a haircut. I looked around Kohls and Michaels and Bath and Beyond. We headed back to IG. At night we watched tv. Denny started to figure out how much he wanted an impact Wrench. These are hard choices.

Home and then study
I felt we got quite a bit done today. All the presents that we have ... have been wrapped. Sue texted tonight and said they are heading back to IG. They have had a good time and purchased Butch and Bonnie's place. We watched the news and chilled in front of the tv. During study Sue got light headed and went to lie down while we finished the study/ prayer time. I stopped at Brenners to check out the used refrigerators. They have some $300-$900 with no ice makers ( + $150) We kinda decided we didn't need a really big refrigerator. Sue and Craig bought a place at 4 Seasons.

Happy Birthday Mom and Julie
I headed to Alta little after 8 and got back home about 5 ish. It's kinda fun to put out stuff for sale. I suggested the idea of putting the rolling drawers under the discount table to hold more items that have been in the store for 60 days. I think it worked ok.
