"Big City" visit ...

We traveled to the "Big City" (Terre Haute, IN) today!! Actually Terre Haute has done a lot of growing since I last went there many moons ago.  We went to the Pet Food Center and bought the animals food today.  The dogs, cats and cockatiels needed food. Then we also had to pick up cat litter. While there, they had a Moluccan Cockatoo named Andy there.  Poor Andy was needing a new home because the previous owner was afraid of the bird and could not handle it.  Apparently he is good in his cage but when you go to bring him out of his cage, he can become quite the terror.  We told the girl checking us out about dropping him to the floor when he is nasty and not letting him near his cage.  She was not aware of that fact ... ahhhh, the things I could teach people!! LOL After the Pet Food Center, we went to Herbs & Heirlooms and Homebrew too!! That was a REALLY cool store with all sorts of neat stuff.  They carry incense, aromatherapy items, herbs, precious stones, and wine/beer making stuff. There is a lot of other things too but that is the short list.  I am sure you will hear more about it as I check it out in my future visits to Terre Haute!!  After that store, we stopped by Lowes and window shopped. Then we came back here, unloaded the car (Scott's) and took my truck to Rural King.  Scott was gonna get fencing to do the Dogs permanent fence but decided not too.  We ended up buying chicken feeders and waterers for the chickies. After that, we went to Walmart and picked up some groceries and a new steam mop for my floors!!  A mop just does not get it!!  It leaves a nasty water mark and film on the floors. It is quite frustrating to clean your floors only to sit down and they still look nasty from an angle.  Once we got home and unloaded the groceries, I went out to the garden and made 12 4x4 sq's for my sq foot gardening.  It is gonna rain sometime tomorrow so I think most of my work will be done inside tomorrow.  Besides, I think 12 sq's are a good start for me.  It is gonna take a few days to clean those out of roots and prep for the seeds, which I still have to find tomorrow!! LOL  Once I got that done, I sat down for about 20 mins and we decided to go enjoy some DQ. So we got shoes on and met Grandpa and Mom at the DQ and enjoyed some down time with them. The Carmel Brownie Blizzard is good!! Now I am back at home, my feet kicked up and my eyes feeling heavy!! LOL  Awwww ... it feels good to feel tired. I sleep like a baby now a days after working my butt off!! LOL That was my day in a nutshell!! :)  Not so bad!!  LOL
