More in the Freezer and Other Stuff

 3 racer-back tank tops--$1 each, two black and one bright pink. I like them. They fit with a flare at the bottom so they can fit the top and hips, too. I only have one top to color my hair, and it was in the wash last time I needed it. Now, I have two more or I can also wear these under a blouse in the winter if it is really, really cold.

Wednesday, we finally got out and mailed two letters. I took something back to Publix and bought green grapes. I didn't realize I bought organic, but I did and am okay with it, I guess. We ate a few. Then, I took two pounds and froze them on a tray for transfer later to a freezer bag, about one quart. Two or three of these will be a treat some winter night when I am wanting something and nothing looks or sounds good and I do not want to go out and get anything even if I knew what I wanted. The rest I am going to make into a fruit salad, one of my favorite things. Tommy won't like my fruit salad because it has bananas, but it is my birthday and he has lots of oranges. 

Luck is the residue of design.

The people next door have 3 large dogs. The Great Dane had 11 puppies; at birth 3 died. They did not know she was pregnant and had no signs until less than 24 hours before she gave birth. The puppies were 5 weeks old when I saw them the day before the neighbors moved. I asked to see one and the wife brought one over while her husband was helping Tommy to jump off the car. 

Those were the largest puppies I have ever seen. I declined to hold it when she held it out, saying I was much sensitive to dogs. Besides, the puppies had fleas. I had seen the big dogs scratching, more and more each day. Cute diversion. I have seen full grown dogs smaller than these puppies. The father is a Great Dane, too, so they are hoping to sell them. 

An onion larger than a softball is in the freezer. I sliced it and cut the onion in quarters. It filled a quart bag. This will be a good size slice for cooking with squash. I still have a dozen onions, but I have to do this slowly. 

a2milk was on sale for $3.99, so I bought five half-gallons. I do the best I can. Some of the cartons have a date the middle of October. 

We took some non-perishable food I was given that we will not eat and took it to a parking lot. There we offered it to a woman who could use it. 

My ears hurt, behind my ears. The mask strap, the oxygen tube, and glasses irritate the back of my ears. They are in pain behind lots of time. It is disgusting, but there is oozing behind my ear. And, my ear drum hurts. Plus, I have a growth or swelling or something next to my eardrum. Woe is me. THEN, last night I slept on my ear with it bent!

Walgreen's spent $0.41 to send me a check for $0.21. I wonder why I got a check at all. 

Tommy bought me a cheap purse that I wanted. I brought it out and showed him what he bought me. It is flat, tiny, and white with flowers. It zips all the way around the top of the two sections. I have a tiny pink one that is really flat, but if want to carry coupons AND use them, it is too tight. There is no need for me to carry anything but a card, phone, and coupons into most stores. I told him it was for my birthday. He thinks he got off at $5...lol. It had been $10. Of course, it is plastic but will fit over my head and arm to carry it with the least pain anywhere. 

Now, I must blanche and freeze carrots.

It was cloudy here this morning but now the sun is blazing. It feels hotter than 85F because there is not a breath of wind. 

What is the weather like at your place today? Any bargains?
