I left you Friday, in Part 1, with these words...
I leave and hit the busiest street in town, and now it is bumper to bumper, and I think, let me off this street, then I spy with my little eye Manatee thrift Store! YAY!
I am ahead of schedule, despite my hissy fit, God has given me and OUTING! Time to Wander in a Store....Stepping in the door, see 3 pairs of shoes, all 3 are my size, look like new, but none of them fit.
Does.Not.Matter: I am OUT OF THE HOUSE IN A THRIFT STORE...
I grab a staple puller, 50 cents, a bag of 10 colored pencils, 1 dollar.
I grin while grabbing 4 pairs of ugly, yellow, socks with thingies on the bottom to stop us old people from falling. Bob has 2 pair, we need more.
I hit every aisle headed for the furniture dept to see if they have a comfy chair, they do not, they also do not deliver, so good thing they don't have one.
For years we eat at the breakfast bar, all 3 meals. Now we eat on the glass table, where the wheelchair fits best.
I had a MOMENT and remembered Mothers oil cloth table clothes on her kitchen table, Swipe and wipe them clean in a moment.
I Google search Oil cloth tablecloths and find there are many, Amazon and Walmart. No to all the prints, my chairs are green and burgundy flowers.
Walmart comes up with a 60 x 60 100% wipeable tablecloth for only 7.99 , delivered by tomorrow. I quickly buy now........ and when it comes, OH NO, its POLYESTER... the perfect color but not oil cloth. I knew it said it was wipeable and did not read the fine print.
I had may have added to the hissfit about driving the packages, that I know it can't be wipeable and toss it on the table and now
I.AM. IN.A.Thrift Store
I am on a mission for wipe-able place mats. the ones I have I liked but they have holes in them.
like this. 
the crumbs get stuck and fall through the holes. I spy 4 green that will match the chairs, 2 dollars for all 4. and I grab a 2-dollar sheet, twin size, same color as the one flat twin at home, aha. I spent 10 dollars 70 cents tax and go home to take photos
they match the chairs perfectly. I am Happy Happy,
I put the 3 ovals back and try the plates to see if I can make myself use the wipe-able green that matches the chairs, but I still hate it.
