I drove to Salt Lake City today to do a little shopping and to have dinner with my dear friends and fellow heart recipient, Jim, and his wife Kitty. I’ve talked about them before on my blog but I’ll recap a bit. I met them when Jim and I had both moved to Utah to receive a new heart.
Jim and Kitty also live in Boise when they are not waiting/recouping from surgery. They will be returning to Boise at the end of March. I can’t wait for them to get home!!! We have really only seen each other a few times but we are like old friends each time we get together. Our dinners usually last hours until the wait staff is trying to kick us out. Last time, we realized it was time to go when the restaurant closed!
When Jim gets home to Boise, we will start a transplant support group charitable organization much like the one here in Utah held in cooperation with the four hospitals in SLC that perform transplants.
Switching gears . . . about my shopping trip now!!! I went to a great import store and found a few things to use in my newly organized (when I get home) creative room! But most of all, I got ribbon!!! Lot’s of ribbon!!! Spools of 50 to 100 yards of ribbon (satin and organza – 1” and up) sell from $3.00 and up. I absolutely love buying ribbon there because it is SUCH A BARGAIN. Who doesn’t love a bargain!!! Plus, I got my mother’s Mother’s Day gift in the Christmas department on clearance. It doesn’t even look like it would be for Christmas!!!
I also stopped by Robert’s Crafts (owned by Provo Craft) and got the new Heritage and Sweet Treats cartridges for my Cricut! Yay!!! More toys to play, I mean tools to create with!!!
Be sure to enter my giveaway!!! I will be drawing the winner on Monday!!!
Blessings,
Christine
