Tax free weekend

We walked again early. It was foggy, humid but cooler than for some time. We went back home, ate a light breakfast, cleaned up for going to the hospital and drove downtown. I stopped at the Shell station to see if anyone had found my credit card. The girl called the manager who said she would look tomorrow. From there we went to the Mexican grocery but found it closed. We went next door to the Tool Shed which carries Vera Bradley items. It is time for the end of summer sale. We found nothing Evelyn wanted. We left there and took my golf shoes to the cobbler. He had glued the soles on last year, but they were coming off again. He will work on them again. We went back to the grocery only to find it still closed (the posted hours are 10-9:30 and it was now 11). We drove on to the pharmacy to get my medicine before going to lunch at the hospital. We get $3.50 to spend for volunteering. The afternoon was very slow again so we left at 3. It had poured down while we were there but stopped before we were there. We rested and then dressed for the evening. We had 3 missions. We went back to the grocery to look for Mexican flags but found none. We went to Belk for clothes for Evelyn to take on the cruise. They had many things marked down 50% and it was tax free weekend. We saved $95 (spent $114) and left thrilled. We then went to the local country club for dinner. We had a coupon for a free appetizer with the purchase of an entrée. We had delicious smoked trout before sharing a 20 ounce pork chop and baked potato. I should have taken some of it home but didn’t. It was almost 9 and Evelyn had wanted to go to Art after Dark to look for a wall hanging. We went to several galleries but found nothing. Actually we were surprised anyone was still open. We came home. The evening had been one of the most temperate we had enjoyed all summer. Heat returns Monday.
