Friday the Thirteenth

Mom woke up today saying she wanted to go to the Audiologists to get her hearing aids cleaned. I called and they had an open time between 10:00 and 11:00, so we got moving and went downtown. They cleaned and adjusted Mom's hearing aids. They remarked that there was a spot on her ear, her right ear I believe, that Mom said was sore from the hearing aids, but they said it was not caused by the hearing aids, and Mom should have her dermatologist check it out.

While we were downtown, we stopped and looked at a couple of places, looking for a ring to replace the wedding ring that Mom lost after her hand was fractured. One place, Goldworks, could make a custom piece for her. Across the street, the Pewter Rabbit had a good selection of vintage rings.

We went to an estate sale near Shasta Junior High, but found nothing there.

We stopped by the bank and deposited the $187 check from Replacements.com for the plates and a $84.14 check for the bottles.

We took a load of things to the Glenwood recycling center -- mostly paper and cardboard. While we were that far out, we looked at some pawn shops in Springfield for her ring, and ended up at White Cloud Jewelers which had an excellent set of demo rings, and could order whatever she wanted. She ended up wanting a 3.5 mm size 5 ring, but did not want to order it. She wants to find a vintage ring, not a new one -- one with the memories already there in the wearing of the ring.

So we did some grocery shopping. We got a pound of "Mexican Prawns", which look a lot like the shrimp we get at home. I made up some pasta and sauteed the shrimp to go with it. Some steamed mixed vegetables, and garlic bread, for dinner.

Mom's car key had broken, and I had a copy made at Jerry's. But it didn't work (we learned today), so I took it back and had another made. This one works. While I was out, I stopped by Albertson's and used the RedBox to rent "Rio", which we watched. Mom enjoyed it, and only fell asleep during it once.
