Sunday Funday

This mural is super cute found in Norman, Oklahoma. In fact we actually turned around so I could take a picture with this mural. I have been on a mission to find murals near to me. We seen many murals that we are going to take pictures of in the future.

Barnes  and Noble Bookstore
Going in to this bookstore is like being embraced by a familiar friend. So many books to choose to buy. I want so many of the new releases on a limited budget.  

Who likes a little spice in their books? You better believe I do! I remember years ago my Grandma Pearl said “I don’t need to read an instruction manual on sex.”  She definitely would blush as these spicy books that I have been reading! 

It’s time for Lunch at The Sweet Basil Thai Restaurant. Oh my gosh I really enjoyed the food. I will be going back to try different dishes. Do you enjoy trying different foods?


The decor was cute, exactly how I would have wanted the restaurant to look like in real life. 


Cherrie had sweet and sour stir fry. She went with zero spice.

I had Pineapple fried rice with chicken. Level 4 spice. Somehow I ended up with zero spice level and Cherrie got the spice in her dish.  I had no clue she could not do “heat” in her food.  We’ve been friends well over 30 years and just finding out this info.

Seems like So many restaurants are putting this on their walls. Makes me wonder what the next decor craze will be?  It’s cute and makes for a nice place for pictures.  As many of  you are aware Iam big on pictures. I remember a season in my life I did not take any pictures of myself because of low esteem.  With doing our Sunday Fundays I need pictures even of me! 
After eating we went to Ollie’s for a few things. Found more scrapbook supplies. I spent about $50.00 on supplies.  I do plan on doing a scrapbook haul post soon. I know what I got was well worth the money. I didn’t have many alphabet stickers and bought several packages. Will use them in my journals. 
Crest was our last stop. I had my list, then Brody’s small grocery list. Cherrie is getting groceries as well.  Since her list isn’t as much as mine she will grab items on Brody’s list. Am sure she thought she was doing a scavenger hunt.  
Overall the day was great. Am always grateful that we are able to get out and have these special days.

Shopping day!

Cherrie and I needed a Sunday funday!  Having a Starbucks drink is always at the top of our to do list.  I have to admit I’m glad we don’t have a local Starbucks.  I know me well enough that I would be spending quite a bit each week if it was closer.  This drink was the cookie crumble and was delicious.

We needed new couch pillows. So this was the main reason for trip to Lawton, Oklahoma.  We went to Ollie’s and I found 2 of these pillows for only 5.99 each.

Then found 2 of these pillows for 6.99 each.  I then will order pillow covers off of Amazon in neutral colors for the couch.  These are the size we wanted and cheaper than buying pillow inserts. 

We went to Home Depot to buy this weed eater for Brody’s birthday gift.  When we get to store it’s ringing up for $149.00 not $119.00.  With a bit of an attitude they finally adjusted the price for me.  Just felt like a bait and switch scenario.  I was less than pleased with that experience.  

We ate at the Fusion Chinese buffet for lunch.  It was not very good.  We have tried it twice and am not satisfied with the flavors.  I did like the sweet and sour soup and the mushrooms.  The fried rice wasn’t one, the flavors was blah on the sweet and sour chicken.
