Found - An Expensive Fabric Shop

 Yesterday was warm, windy, and humid. The high got to 22C. This morning it is mostly cloudy and 22C. Today is supposed to be cloudy with a high of 24C. 

Yesterday morning we cleaned the apartment and then packed up grandson's clothes to take to the lavadero. We walked a couple of blocks to it and went inside. It was hot and humid in there. We left the clothes there to be picked up tomorrow. His clothes weren't dirty but the washing machine in his apartment wasn't doing a good job getting his clothes clean. 

We decided to go and walk to a fabric store. On the way we saw a fountain in a front yard. It was the first I have seen. 

The water wasn't running in it and it needed a good weeding. But otherwise it was lovely with all the tiles and the cement fountain piece. 

We continued our walk to the fabric store and it was a small shop with this window display. 

The door was locked and the lady let us in. I can see why as it was full of very expensive fabric for formal gowns. We looked around the store and I bought 2 pieces of linen and some trim. 

I looked at some trim for daughter and loved these two. 

I did end up buying her this piece of fabric which was very expensive. 

I am sure the lady was thrilled with the amount I spent in her shop as there were no other customers. 

On the walk back to the apartment we both got really warm. The humidity was 84%. The one bush I looked at is a magnolia but the bloom I was wanting to take a picture of was gone. The other blooms were facing away from me and the yard it was in was gated and locked. 

I did take pictures of the hibiscus blooms at the apartment. They were not picked off and wide open. The wind was blowing so it was hard to get a shot but I tired. Here is the best one. 

I had an exciting time after we got home. Daughter sent me a text with a message I didn't quite understand. While she was on Facebook, she hooked up with a lady who knew about my parents. Her mom is my first cousin. She is 95 years old and still living in Cape Tormentine, New Brunswick. Her daughter was the person who contacted my daughter. I have now talked to her and she lives about 20 minutes from where I live. Hopefully we can connect when I get home. She is 5 years younger than me. She has 2 sisters and I am excited to learn about them. 

I have also emailed my cousin. I had written to her years ago and we lost contact. I have met her brother several times and use to talk to him a lot. He got mad about something and quit talking to me. I want to know more about him. 

Today we are going to go shopping for gifts in the Old City. I will need to find a few things for a friend plus some candy for the boys across the street. I am looking for items made by people in Uruguay. We decided to do it today as it turns hot tomorrow. 

Until the next time.........................................................................
