Fleas and muffins

We went to a huge flea market and bought an old saddle and bullwhip for decoration in our room in Texas. We left there and went to Lowes to return a ceiling fan and get some cloth and rods for covering the outside door to the carport. We drove from there to Barber orchard and bought five of their delicious apple/walnut muffins and a strawberry/rhubarb pie for the etouffee dinner we are planning with the neighbors next week. We also went to a nursery and bought two clematis plants. I don't know how anything can grow in this rock hard clay around our house but we will try. We then came to the library after taking our trash to the dumpsite. It is very interesting here in that there is no trash pick up but the recycling center is located with the place for residents to take their trash. I had forgotten the trash yesterday when we took the recylables. It is interesting here in that there is no trash pick up. Residents take their trash and recyclables to the same location. There is no requirement for separating anything other than papers and cardboard. The aluminum, plastics, metal, etc. are all dumped into the same container. The computer repair store was closed, I decided to buy a new computer to take advantage of the tax free weekend here. We went off to Best Buy in Asheville. The place was packed with like minded people and we had to wait in line for a salesperson. We got a nice young man and purchased a Gateway for under $700. It is certainly not top of the line but good enough for me. I can return it within 14 days if my other one can be repaired. We had decided to go to the Asheville Tourists class A baseball game. We got directions and were surprised to find the place. It was concealed and difficult to locate. We stayed only five innings because they were being whomped and it had sprinkled for two innings. We stopped at the grocery on the way home to buy some things for making etouffee for the neighbors we had invited for Sunday evening. We drove home happy.
