“Women usually love what they buy, yet hate two-thirds of what is in their closets.” ― Mignon McLaughlin

Last Saturday – April 6, 2024

We went to a Goodwill store.  I wanted to get some old frames for me to use for my mosaics.  I hadn’t been to a Goodwill store in ages.

I was pleasantly surprised.  This store was so big and there was so many items.  And so many people too!

I saw some brand new shoes, and some beautiful clothing that looked to be in great shape. I am sure if someone takes the time to go around the store, there are a lot treasures to be found.

I reminded myself that I don’t need or want any additional clothing and shoes, even if it is a bargain.  I don’t like shopping anyway, so I normally just want to run out after grabbing what I went it for. I left with 6 frames and 1 vase for $33. 

The only problem I have with such stores is the smell. The moment I walked in, the smell of old hit me.  After a few minutes I got used to it.

After that, we went to Deland, Florida.  After walking around downtown, we decided to stop for a late lunch at De La Vega Restaurant.

I love tapas, so that was an easy choice for me. But in the end, I didn’t choose tapas (small plates).  I chose to order the Churrasco.   

It was a plate with sirloin steak with chimichurri sauce, with sausage with cheese yucca fries and pico de gallo.  It was delicious!! To drink I had cava.  Michael had vegetarian enchiladas and also thought it was delicious.  Michael drank water.

Afterwards we stopped by Deland Fish House Restaurant to get coconut cake for dessert.  We were going to eat there originally, so I had looked at the menu and spotted the coconut cake on the menu.  Remember, I love coconut and I love cake, so that is a winning combination!

The cake was good, but not something I would go out of my way to get it.  Well, I wouldn’t say no if you offered me some right now 🙂

“One can hardly do anything productive when one knows there is cake in the fridge.” ― Joyce Rachelle
