We wanted to take a day trip and get out of the house. Our town has about 25,000 but Wausau is about 60,000. It has several shopping areas. We stopped by friends' house to drop off two of our ten bottles of cinnamon whiskey, a spur for Valentine activities. They were pleased to see us and invited us in for a chat - no bots involved.
We drove to Birds Unlimited and bought a new cage for a cylinder of seeds and 20 lbs of worms. I had my first visit to Hobby Lobby and I saw the very large assortment of house art and hobby items they sell. Lynn was after replacements for some of her fine brushes for glazes but they didn't have anything she wanted. We had lunch in a Mediterranean Grill and we had our first gyros in a long time.
We visited Barnes and Noble and looked at a selection of banned books but we didn't buy any. Normally, if I see a title of interest, I try to get it in Kindle format for both print size control if it is needed and a file of highlights. We drove to downtown Wausau and visited the bookstore in operation since 1919.
We were in Lynn's car and it needed a wash. We stopped for a gas refill and a wash/vacuum.
Good time and nice change!
