Prettiest Day Yet--cool, no rain. Wednesday

Cary has been wanting to go to the town of Hilbert ever since he read in his baby book that in October, 1944 (he was a month old), he took his first car trip to the town to visit his mom's uncle, Augie (of course, Augie). So that is what we did.

Our first stop was in Plymouth so I could check out the fabric store. Nice things, but nothing I needed. Cary noticed a sign on the door advertising a rummage sale on Saturday in Waldo, so there is another plan for the weekend.

We had lunch in Chilton, a cute deli and bakery called Hilde's. Sandwiches, a peanut bar (like his mom used to make) and coffee, all for just over $10!

Three thrift stores called our names and we found several goodies. 

We did get to Hilbert, where one of the thrift stores was located. Cary has been wanting a watch to wear while he is here and found a new one for $5. 

Our last stop was the Piggly Wiggly (locals call it "The Pig") to buy eggs and chicken on sale. The cats were thrilled to see us when we got home.

I took this picture later when they were relaxing. Nice end of the day for all concerned!
