Good trip to LaGrande today. Roads were bare, not much wind about 50° out there. Got our shopping done at the "Grocery Outlet" before my eye appt. Not any real great buys, but always manage to fined plenty. Shouldn't have to buy much now before we leave for Arizona. Went to the used book store, took books to sell and bought a couple.
One book I bought is "The Big Burn" by Timothy Egan. It is about a forest fire in 1910 that burned through national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana. In the aftermath of this fire, the idea of conserving public lands for all citizens was spawned. Supposed to be very good.
I love the used book store in LaGrande, it is big, and well arranged. It has just recently changed owners. I liked the previous owner, but must say these people are taking it to a new level, lots of new ideas about displaying the books. They added seating areas, a coffee bar and just made it more inviting and homey. Also seems brighter, more lighting maybe.
BiMart is another place we shop, when in LaGrande. Today we brought a tiny greenhouse home, that I have been looking at for three years now and finally bought it. Will put it on the deck this spring where it will get the sun and hope we can anchor it to the deck, so the wind can't blow it away. I only want it for about two months in the spring to start some bedding plants, then will put it in the old garage until next year. See how it works. Drove through the parking lot at Wal-Mart and I told Herb to just keep going. Too many people, too much stuff. Don't need it!!!
Went to Bear Mountain Pizza for the lunch buffet, good selection: Salad bar, two kinds of soup, chicken wings, (I like), JoJo's, bread sticks, plus pizza and drinks. Don't need anything to night, just a snack. I hear Herb getting into the ice cream.
Eye appointment went well, haven't gotten any worse in the past four months, so that is good. Hope they stay that way!
Chatted with Rusty, he is in Vietnam, headed to Saigon tomorrow for a few days. He will be back in China on the 10th and home to Bend on the 14th.
Enough for now OWAV:)
