Lazy Rainy Sunday - Must Go Shopping!

If Rashawn had a daughter, these would have been purchased for her!

I woke up to a rainy morning  and enjoyed a lazy few hours.  After a few catch up phone calls to friends, what's a girl to do but GO SHOPPING!  I have been wanting a pair of brown boots for a long time and put off such a purchase for many reasons.  Today I decided that there would be no more waiting for a pair of brown boots.  Even

The new brown boots.

during my 10 days as a Jackson Hole resident, I have wanted to wear a certain brown belt with an outfit and have had to wear something else because my belt would not match with my boots.  I know that I survived without the matching visor a few days ago and I know that Brooke Roberts commented that I should deal with not matching all the time, but I just don't want to!  I want my clothes to match...I feel better that way.  So off to "Boot Barn" I went.  After a very enjoyable search, I found the pair of brown boots that called my name.  My brown belt is now very happy to have a new pair of boots in the closet to complete a few outfits.  The 15% off coupon I picked up in the paper also made the purchase smile worthy!  Love my coupons.

The pieces of my dragon

After boot shopping, it was a quick trip to the grocery store to stock up on a few things.  I am having two of my co-workers over for a steak dinner on Monday night, so I needed a few things.  Once home I knew I had to take on the project I have been avoiding - - the slaying of my dragon -- it was time for me to face the needed assembly of my portable outdoor fire pit.  I bought the fire pit during my first weekend here in Jackson Hole.  I thought it would be a great addition to the backyard deck on nights when friends were visiting and wine was being consumed as the sun set behind the Tetons.  With the arrival of my first guest coming soon on Tuesday, I had to tackle the assembly of the fire pit.  I must admit that the assembly took longer than I anticipated.  I needed a wrench and could not find one in the house.  I did find some pliers and was able to get the fire pit put together and ready for use.  With wonderful summer camp memories floating around in my head, provisions for smores have been purchased.  I hope that Turner Beard (Marilyn Estes's 12 year old son) has a love of smores!  It would be bad if Katherine and I did all the smore eating.

The dragon has been tamed
