Wednesday's Wanderings

I knew that today was going to be a different day before I got out of bed this morning. Everything was pretty normal to begin with, breakfast, empty the dishwasher, read the paper, going for a walk, read the mail, but that is where it all stopped.

Kathleen and I had our insurance review over in Beaverton today, so we left the house about noon for our 1230 appointment. We made it there just in time and spent about an hour and a half with our agent. We dropped Kathleen's term insurance and cut my insurance by about two-thirds.

Since we do not have children that depend on us now there really was no need for me to have a quarter of a million dollars of insurance and the same went for Kathleen. We also were able to change our auto insurance since neither one of us puts many miles on our vehicles a year. So hopefully we achieved our goal of reducing our premiums and kept our coverage in line with what we actually needed.

We left Beaverton about 1400 and on the way home Kathleen said that she was hungry, so I suggested going to Salty's on the Columbia River. Kathleen had been saying how she never got to eat there; I had gone a couple times when I worked at Boeing as a reward type dinner, so it was never a big deal for me.

We both only ate half of our lunch so we had some take home. Kathleen had a desert which she only had a little bit of so we took that home as well.

After we left there we stopped at Parr lumber's cabinet outlet to look around and see what they had for cabinets. After looking around for a while we stopped at another appliance and cabinet shop and then at a granite/quarts counter top shop and then a sink fixture shop. They were all next to each other so it was really convenient.

By the time we got home it was 1800 so we just took out our take home from Salty's and heated it up and there was our dinner. Two meals for the price of one. So I did not get a lot of work done around the house as we spent the afternoon wandering around window shopping.

I think that pretty much covers my day, so I will just say good night!
