Number One Husband and I recently went to a small thrift store that benefits seniors. It's a great little store with lots of treasures. While their prices have increased, it's nothing like Goodwill. I found these brand-new Sorel Caribou boots for $20 bucks. Retail on these boots is $225 dollars. I may not need to wear them for a while, but I am excited to have such a nice pair of winter boots. They will work great with my snowshoes.
Number One Husband picked up a Made-in-America waffle iron. I promptly made Herman sourdough waffles. They were delicious. And I picked up a few books and DVDs. From free to $1 is all I had to pay. I think that they get a lot of media type stuff, and they don't have a lot of room, so they price it to move or give it away when they have too much.

| Third time is a charm. On the last one, I got the batter ratio correct. I ate my waffle plain. The sweetness of the whole grains and the Herman sourdough starter was enough for me. |
In other news, my girlfriend, the amazing BB, will be here in two days. We are doing a Fall leaf tour of the area. Hiking, hot springs and food is on our agenda. It's perfect timing. The peak is on the 20th. Another girlfriend may join us for a couple of our adventures. Number One Husband has graciously bowed out of all of our adventures. He and I have trip coming up soon.
Number One Husband is making a cheesecake, and I already made tamales and froze them for the occasion. Both of which are two of her favorite foods. (ours too) I will put together some travel foods also. I made a mild breakfast sausage for breakfast bagels. Spicy is not her thing. I need to get to work on the bagels and blueberry muffins. There are no restaurants on the trails. We are going to need some food with substance to power us up the cold mountains on our hikes.
It has definitely turned cooler, and snow appeared on the peaks a couple of nights ago. Our yearly goal is to not turn the heat on until the first of November, but we had to turn it on to take the chill out of the air a month and a half early this year. It was 57 degrees inside the house this morning.
The craziest thing has happened to me. I have lost my prescription sunglasses and glasses and my 1/2 cup measuring cup. Now I can understand that my glasses probably fell out of the car, but my measuring cup? What the hay? Did I toss it out in the trash? Is it inside a container somewhere that I haven't yet checked? I have spent hours looking for both to no avail.
I'd better get moving.
Shalom,
Mrs. Smith
