Errands

Most everybody has to do errands, even the homeless folk I'm guessing. They have things to do like fix that busted shopping cart wheel, find a bigger, better cardboard box, or maybe cash in their recyclables. Today, the Misers did their errands. I used to really like doing errands back when we weren't so miserly. 

We all piled into the car and headed off to Errand Land. Our first stop was Sunset Blvd Nursery to check out apple trees. Anymore, to be a tree or plant in our yard you have to be able to produce something edible, so we were thinking a nice Fuji apple tree would be a delicious addition to our lemon and grapefruit trees. But our nursery won't have any in stock until March, which gives us time to decide whether or not to buy one. (If we do, we must take down a non-producer - there is always some killing you have to do around the farm.) 

Then we went to Baller Hardware to buy some caulk so that Sparky can re-seal his outdoor closet where he stores his paintings. It leaks a bit when it rains, and just in case it ever rains again in Los Angeles we want to be prepared.

After that bit of excitement, we went to our park (Elysian Victory Memorial Grove) to walk and wear out G the D and toddler Bee. The latter played with a stick and had a very good time, while the former ran around and sniffed and peed on stuff. I imagine he had a very good time as well. Sparky rolled some boulders down the hillside and definitely enjoyed watching them wreak havoc as they jumped down the ravine smashing everything in their way. Cost of the stick, the pee and the boulders: Free!

And finally, we stopped at the market to buy a few needed groceries - another Miser Family Saturday in the City of Angeles.
