Scavenger Hunt with Jill

Today Jill and I are getting together for a “scavenger hunt” through a very large Goodwill store and very cool used book stores.

I need gloves (see previous posting) so that I can start making stuffed animals (serious, you have to read my earlier post “have a hobby” to not think I have finally gone over the unemployment edge). I want pre-existing acrylic gloves for this project, and for sentimental reasons, I will have to explain at a later date. But finding gloves anywhere in this town after April has become a bit of a challenge – so I’m hoping Goodwill might be the best resource, being that they are a treasure trove of great things.

After Goodwill we are heading over to south Broadway (near Green Hornet area) to walk the funky shops and wander through used book stores. I have a list of classic books I want to read and add to my library and I thought this would be very “green” of me to buy used.

It will be a fun day with Jill (always is). We plan to have some Fish & Chips and a beer at GB’s http://www.gbfishandchips.com/ (super fabulous place, check it out). Ron will be picking her later this afternoon, so if we get home early enough we will have wine (hello, we will be home early enough....I'll post that little "wine drinking on the deck" adventure on http://www.wineyjanet.blogspot.com/).

I’ll take a few snapshots and post them out on my Facebook for you all to see how much fun we are having this Friday (now don't you wish you were unemployed and hanging out with us!).

Peace
