Welcome to Silver and Shadow

"Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds." -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

This is a blog I will be using for topics other than food. Politics, religion, spirituality, humor, green living, anything that I want to talk about that doesn't fall under the food/cooking category.

STFAH: July 11, 2020

We didn't stay home entirely. It was a grocery shopping day for us and we also wanted to look at stuff for the new apartment, so we did a few stores. I found the cutest deck chairs at Fred Meyer but they were $55 each so we decided to look around and see what else we could find, and I'm glad we did. We went to Lowe's and found the perfect set: 2 deck chairs and the perfect table. Right height and size. It turned out that the floor model was the last one they had so we got a sweet deal discount on it. Originally $255, on clearance for $218, but since it was the floor model they knocked it down to $175!! We also got some cute tropical pillows to go with it, and a nice citronella candle. Seriously, go to Lowe's, they deserve your business! They were so nice and kind to us. And so were our parents who bailed us out by driving down with the van to take it all back for us. When they come on Wednesday, it'll be the first stuff we unpack. I've spent the evening looking up cute tropical cloth on Etsy to buy material to make a tablecloth for it. I've narrowed it down to two options. I'll take pictures when we move and whenever we get the tablecloth set up.

We picked up a roast chicken at Fred Meyer and made a late roast chicken lunch which will also be leftover dinner tomorrow too. We made up a meal schedule for the next week since starting Wednesday, we'll pretty much be eating out for the rest of the move.

The rest of the day was spent watching fun stuff. The Three Caballeros, which was the next one of our Disney rewatch. Newsies, still not my favorite, but at least we watched the whole thing this time. A few episodes of The Good Place, and now an episode of The Great British Baking Show. It's been so cold today, I'm looking forward to wrapping up in my bed tonight and getting nice and toasty warm!
