NATION’S 1st INTERNATIONAL MERMAID MUSEUM

I had to go into town today for a few grocery items – so I slipped my Spring themed coffee mug cuff off … and replaced it with Frosty the Snowman, since the snowfall does not seem to want to fade away.

MOD Snowman Cuff back on my thermos Travel Cup.

Spotted an EV in the Winco parking lot this afternoon: NOPE – it does not appeal to me! It’s waaay too small for my needs.

I got back home without any mishaps; unloaded the groceries and cases of water: and checked my FB Page for messages – and to make sure my ‘Friends’ are still alive and kicking 😉

I came across an interesting post on the Wandering Washington FB Page.

This might be interesting ;-)

So, I researched it online to get more information about it (Why? Where is it located?; ect.)

From what I can gather online, the Mermaid Museum is located pretty much halfway between Aberdeen and Westport.

NO – I do not believe actual mermaids exist ... but, this does sound interesting; and a drive to Westport-WA, would be a fun way to spend a sunny day Daytrip :-)

Just like the myth of Atlantis, the mermaid tales have been passed down through the generations. On sunny days, people head towards the ocean beaches and let their imaginations loose.

Imagination is not reality.

But entertaining flights of fancy can be fun on a dreary day ;-)

Visiting the flight of fancy museum will be a fun get-away-daytripping adventure 😊

Getting there will be an all-day thing; and I’ll have to gas up in Westport or Aberdeen, on my way back home (and at nearly $5/gal., that will be a spendy loop drive); but as soon as the snow stops falling and the weather warms up, I’ll be chomping at the bit to hit the road and see things I’ve not seen before 😊

It cost me $34 to pump ¼-tank of gas this afternoon; granted there was a 9-cent reduction from 2 weeks ago, but I’m thinking the gas price will jump quite bit up as soon as Spring Fling travel starts and Summer, kicks in: it always does. And with the obama-biden-cartel politically manipulated inflation spikes added to that seasonal gas hike occurrence, gas prices will be rocketing into outer space this year.

9-cent difference at the pump, this afternoon, compared to the gas price on March 31st – last time I topped the tank off.

But … I’m still penciling daytrips into my life: gotta have ‘em. Sitting around watching the grass grow in the neighbor’s lawn, isn’t how I envision spending my Golden Years.

I am not a rich widow – I am a frugal one 😉

I am going to fix a salad to lunch on … and dream of a sunny days with an ocean view. Hopefully soon.

Big, FAT, snowflakes this morning. Where were these things at Christmastime???

SNOWFLAKES, RAIN, & BLUE SKIES

Yep – that’s the kind of day it’s been today: 30-degrees in the early morning hours, with frosty rooftops; snowflakes (teeny, but they were visible) around 10 AM, and sporadic rain … all making an appearance, with a blue-sky background.

I guess this last Monday of a quickly fading Winter wanted to go out with a bang 😉

Woke up to 30-degrees and frost after a 70-degree weekend.

There were other snowflakes showing themselves, too; the kind of snowflakes that drift through life on two legs.

They aren’t as pretty as the snowflakes Yeshua designed and created for necessity; but they do always show up when they sense a change in the air … and they ride the chilly undertone of the environment.

These kind of snowflakes are basically worthless.

They serve no viable purpose; other than to muddy the landscape of life, and stir up icy chaos.

It’s a good thing I am warmed by my Father’s love, and sheltered by my Husbands’ love, and grace.

My Faith is my blue sky 😊

On another note; Friday, I bought a new pair of jeans … but because of the demonrat nonsense concerning covid, there were no dressing/fitting rooms open. The size was right: the pant leg length was not.

This style jeans, is pretty much all there is to buy - I did, but I don't like it.

Apparently, this is all that is available on the shelves – jeans with shortened legs length.

This “style” of jean may appeal to younger people; but it is not very flattering on a curvy Grandma. I don’t like the style … and I am sure, even in my youthful years, I would not have bought them. But, I am stuck with them, so I will wear them.

Unhappily ☹

The only other alternative is; to fork out more $$ to replace them, and have the store trash them because under “covid rules” returned clothing has to be destroyed – it can’t be placed back on the shelves to be resold.

I hope, that at some point, before the Grim Reaper comes for me; life will regain some sense of normality.

I’m just done with all of the political snowflake madness.

Really d.o.n.e.
