12-09-23 Nice to Have Family Time
I picked up Rae-Anne from work just after 10 and after fueling up at the newly dropped price of 153.9/L, off to Kimberley we went. There was a major Christmas market at the Convention Centre up at the ski hill. There is a terrible lack of snow for this time of year. The making machines were going strong. After the market, where I only bought some of the pecan brittle that I had managed to avoid last weekend. The rest of the time in Kimberley was spent wandering the Platzl, hanging up posters for Encore. We checked out the cool little stores and I restocked my fridge with beverages from Earth’s Own. We tried to go to Whiskey Jack’s for lunch but it was closed for renovations. Our Place, on the Platzl was where we ended up. I had eggs benny, and enjoyed some of Rae’s fries as they are old school fresh cut ones and soooo good.
I dropped her at home just around 2:30 after a good catch up. The market where Ashlée was selling Norwex and her photography was on until 3 at the library so I headed over and ended up buying a very expensive bath mat and some other Norwex from her and a metal Jack Skellington from another vendor there.
I helped her out to her car after with all the stuff and it was nice to have a short but sweet visit.
I headed home and began my new puzzle. It is rather easy compared to the last ones. It felt like it was getting late when Deanne called to ask if I wanted to use Bill’s ticket and go to the Buck’s game with her. I was surprised it wasn’t even 6:30 yet. I met her there and as usual neither of us won any prizes from the program, nor the 50/50. It was fun to hang out with her and I am glad I went. Buck’s won and that was only the second game I have been to.
Home again to finish watching the series Squid Game and begin watching the game show version. I have enjoyed one of my special beverages and a lovely mellow evening since I got home.
