A Goodwill Tip and Flying Ice Cream!

I took the afternoon off today so I could go to a board meeting. I am the new editor of the Coalition for Living Well After 50's newsletter. This was my chance to meet some board members and hear some old and new news. Very interesting!

The meeting was about a half mile from one of the Goodwill stores so I headed over when it ended. I found lots of craft magazines and booklets! I probably should have heeded the signs - like when a pile of them fell off the top shelf and bounced off my cart. And another pile slipped off a lower shelf and spilled by my feet. You would think that would discourage me. But NOOOO! Not when there is a craft treasure to be found!!! I did end up with quite a few booklets but there are plenty left. REALLY! If you are a craft person, there is one tip for you. Goodwill - east side in Lafayette. BIG TIP! Saturday the 20th is 50% off at most of the Indiana Goodwills. And... I WON'T BE THERE! So you know that means there will be that many more treasures for you!!!

I decided after I left Goodwill that I badly needed a Pepsi. Culver's is right around the corner. Hmmm.... Pepsi AND a sundae! That could be my dinner. They have a blueberry sundae so being the fruit and vegetable conscious person that I am (HA!) I decided that sounded good. The cashier asked if I wanted a lid and I said yes. Thank God for that!!! I had my Pepsi in my cup holder so I set the sundae down on the passenger seat. It was flat, seemed steady and had my purse behind it. You would think that would have gotten it home. What I forgot was the law of centrifugal force. If you speed around a corner, things go flying. All was well until I decided I could beat a car and turn left. I whipped around that corner and OOPS! the sundae went flying! It wedged itself top up between the seat and the door. I just kept watching it picturing blueberries and ice crewam dripping all over my truck. I finally couldn't take it any more and when I stopped at a light, I unbuckled my seat belt, reached over and got it. I then propped it inside my purse where it happily sat until I got home.

I do have to say that was some YUMMY ice cream!! Their fruit always tastes fresh and the custard was smooth and tasty. It was worth it!

Hope your Monday went well for you!
