Yesterday e and I went shopping. We parked in front of Trader Joe's then walked to the fabric store. e walked beside me, stopping to admire the bits of blue glass set in some blocks of pavement, pausing to check out the workers pushing big bins of cardboard, looking at other shoppers. At Beverly's we found the Velcro display, and while I looked for what I needed to replace the snaps on Jack and Missy's clothes e found a display of thread within her reach. After I returned a couple of spools to their place I picked up e and made my selection. Who would have guessed Velcro came in so many permutations!
Then it was on to Trader Joe's for eggs, milk, and a couple other items. The checker gave e a strip of stickers which she enjoyed on the drive home. I unloaded the groceries, leaving e in her car seat, then went to Safeway. After a bit e indicated she was ready to get down from the shopping cart, but alas, I wasn't done yet. Eventually, though, we finished and I unbuckled her from the cart, only to put her in the car seat. A cheese stick helped ease her frustration. I guess that much time buckled in to a seat was just too much. Maybe next week we will go shopping on two separate days.
Last night I found 22 purple fabrics for the quilt; I need two more so I'll check a couple bins for scraps.
