Did I Find Enough? Probably Not, But It Is As It Is

Holiday shopping - NOT my favorite thing to do, but I had a single day off yesterday to wrap up the loose ends, so off I went. I wanted one more gift for DH and maybe a stocking stuffer or two. Looking back through my notes (yes, I keep notes on what he mentions during the year), I decided on a set of goggles to help with his snow-blindness while clearing snow from the roof and some new socks for his treadmill days since he's back to inside exercise for the season. 

I ended up with a pair similar to this - same brand,
slightly different look. I think it will do what he wants
it to do, the only question is whether or not it will
fit over his current eyeglasses. We'll see - at least
it gives me a second gift for him. 

I had tried to get goggles for him last year and was quite overwhelmed by the choices, leaving without anything because I had no idea what would or wouldn't work. The darned things are EXPENSIVE and I wanted to get something he would be able to use. Fortunately, this time I had a lovely older salesman who helped me find a set that I think will be really good and will fit over DH's eyeglasses. I guess we'll know for sure when he tries them on, but they are returnable if he doesn't like them. 

From the second floor looking down, the moose
is totally spectacular. I had to take a photo for
my friend Poo, who loves moose. 

The second item required a trip to the mall - something I avoid. It wasn't crowded and I found a parking space right away too. The store I needed was at the far end from where I parked, but that was OK too since I was able to power-walk there and back. I stopped short by the lighted moose, though, and had to share him with all of you. Just look at it! He's 17 feet tall and lit by 36,000 LED lights. He's stunning. I took two pictures to share with all of you, especially my dear friend Poo who adores moose. 

On my way back to my parking space, I passed by him again, this
time at ground level. He's truly impressive - just huge and
so very sparkly! 

After the mall I picked up the ham and the weekly groceries, went home, continued my laundry, and finally, late in the afternoon, Aearwen and I had a nice long chat - almost 1-1/2 hours long! We had to make up for lost time because it was our final convo of 2018. On that note, I need to plug in my moose photos and head out to the gym. All of that ham (along with lots of water because ham is salty) will put on weight that I have to get right back off. Time for a serious swim! Have a glorious Thursday and I'll return tomorrow.
