Week1 - Post 2

Thanks for all that have extended their friendship and well wishes for my travels.  I'm planning a trip to a Pow Wow this weekend, but its only 40 miles away.  A friend of mine is coming from 90 miles away and he may take the Squeelin Gypsy there and camp and I'll just drive home Friday and Saturday nights. 

I'm a pretty frugal gal and hate to buy anything new - about all I use Wally World for is the essentials to keep clean and healthy.  So, I went to several charity thrift stores yesterday looking for things for the Gypsy.  I found 2 yard of what I think to be an acrylic felt type of product.  I'm not sure what it is, but I am sure that it will be good to lay down on a park table as a table cloth, on the floor for wet/muddy shoes, or as a ground cover in case I want something more solid to set my chair on when chillin by the wayside.  Don't know what its intended purpose is, but for $1.50 for 2 yards its a bargain in my books!!!

What I learned today:  Me, an unbiased/unprejudiced person that doesn't base opinions on a persons race, sex or preferences, was surprised that when I went to an appointment with someone I had never met, and found them to be nowhere near what I imagined based on their name.  I have to remember that all Bubba's aren't big white country boys and that all LaQuisha's arent always small, round, black girls.  The lesson - don't peg someone based on their name.  Lesson learned.
