Did you set your clocks ahead last night or wait until this morning? We always wait until the next morning unless David has to work, which he didn't today. I've set all but two and those two I need a stole to get to, but they'll be reset by day's end.
An update on those dogs rescued from that puppy mill in Sac County, some have already been adopted. I haven't heard about the ones that were pregnant, but I'm sure we'll hear something soon. The dogs that were adopted were so cute. All were Cocker Spaniels except I think, one. For more info, check out the Animal Rescue League of Iowa's website at www.arl-iowa.org.
This coming week is going to definitely feel like spring. Our highs are supposed to be in the upper 60s to low 70s and sunny all week. Today is the one day we're supposed to get rain, but so far all we've gotten are sprinkles.
Dave and I went up to Des Moines yesterday to get some things. He had to drop a tire off to have replaced and while in the area, we dropped into Harbor Freights. I wanted one of the small electric drills/screwdrivers for myself rather than always borrowing David's. Dave picked up a couple of things and then we headed to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and bought paint and a bunch of other stuff to go with it. They carry a brand of paint made from recycled paint. The name of the brand is Amazon. They don't have a lot of colors, but the ones they have are nice. We bought paint for the living room called Island Sand and Ivory White for the hallway. I also saw a color I would like to paint our bedroom and bath. It's a real calming blue called Ice Blue.
If you need to repaint and want to do something good for the environment at the same time, check them out, they're on line at www.amazonpaint.com. Or better yet, check out your local ReStore to see if they carry it. You might also find something else you likeor can use there. We saw a whole house full of furniture, living room, dining room and two bedrooms, plus patio furniture. I say it all the time, I love our ReStore.
Anyway, after we were done with all of our running around, we stopped at the Cold Stone Creamery at Jordan Creek and bought sinfully good milkshakes. I got the cream de mint and Dave got the strawberry cheesecake. We had done a lot of walking, hopefully enough to burn off our lunch at Perkins and the milkshakes. But it's not like we do that everyday, going to Perkins and Cold Stone Creamery that is.
I bought all the pups new collars. I ended up replacing the ones I bought for Jake and Max last month and got all four matching ones, but of different colors. The collar I originally bought for Max was really nice, but too wide for his neck. It would have been better on a greyhound or whippet, something with a long neck. There was nothing wrong with Jake's except it was kind of thin, but the collar he has now is one I originally wanted to buy for all of them and did buy for Rolli. They didn't have all the colors I was looking for at PetSmart, but I was able to find them on line. I not only found the color I wanted for Jake, but the one I wanted for Angel and a different color for Max and one to replace Rolli's old one. She wears a pink collar because she's the little diva. Now they all have nice new collars.
I also bought on line, see a pattern here, a new duvet cover for the bed. I found it at Pottery Barn's website on sale. It was only $66.00 plus tax and shipping. I went back the next day and bought the matching shams, also on sale. I can't wait until they get here.
And to end on another positive note, I found a Mega Millions lottery ticket from last month I thought I had accidentally thrown away. I checked the numbers and found that it was a winner. I won $8.00 thanks to the megaplier. It's not much, but it'll buy three more tickets with megapliers or Powerball tickets with the multiplier. I still have to check the one from last night's drawing, but who knows, maybe I got lucky twice.
And so ends another rambling. Enjoy your day. Do something nice for someone else. It'll not only put a smile on their face, but yours too.
