Jo-Ann, You're a loser - Hancock, you rule!

Today was devoted to locating some fabric that Helen needs for a sewing project.

After looking through the phonebook and online, we located a Jo-Ann Fabrics store less than 10 miles from the apartment. So we drove over there and arrived around 11 a.m. While Helen went looking for her fabrics, I walked over to a Border's to kill time.

As soon as I got to Borders, my phone started the " low battery" beep, so I walked back to the car to be ready when Helen finished her shopping. A few minutes later, Helen called but she didn't find any fabric that she needed for her project. Turns out this "fabric" store was jammed with crafty crap, but didn't really have a very good assortment of fabrics. AAAARGH!!

Anyway, we drove home where I made us a lunch of turkey sandwiches. We decided to check for another fabric shop and Helen found Hancock's Fabrics, only a mile or so from the Jo-Ann's we just left. So we drove to the Hancock and parked outside this smaller store in a somewhat shabby part of LV.

But inside, Helen was able to find exactly what she needed. Since they didn't have any type of wheelchairs in the store, I went inside to assist her. Keep in mind, I am NO fan of fabric shops. But Helen really appreciated my help and said so several times. It only took 20 minutes or so and we were headed back to the apartment. Now Helen can crank up her sewing machine and work her magic on this sewing project.

For dinner, I whipped together some hefty Southwestern-style salads with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, corn, black beans, mushrooms, salsa and grated cheese. Darn tasty and somewhat healthy.

Now we're watching the Ohio State-Texas game and, ironically, we're rooting for the Buckeyes. I have 3 fb bets involving the Buckeyes winning. All 3 bets also involve Tulsa beating Ball State on Tuesday, so even if OSU wins, I won't know how the wagers turn out til then.

Tomorrow, the adventure continues...
