At noon, we arrived in Rosenberg where the eating establishments we chose were either crowded or closed. Settling for the old stand-by, we went to Panda Express which became crowded as we ate our meal.
Mimi had spotted Sally's Beauty Supply which jogged her memory that she needed a concentrate 'setting' stuff for her hair. Of course, we didn't know exactly what brand, so we had to hunt. The store was busy and it took a while for the sales lady to show us what she had. Now you know that when a woman spends time in a store full of hair and beauty products, she isn't going to come out empty-handed. Mimi found a couple of other items that she would be needing in the future. I found an eyelash curler that looked like it would work without pinching my skin. (When we got home, I tried it and found it to work quite nicely, so Mimi took it home to try for herself. Guess I will be going back to the store.)
We began our quest for the washer/dryer at Best Buy. After a LONG time studying each brand and model, Mimi settled on a set. However, Best Buy shot themselves in the foot.....they no longer deliver to El Campo! We priced small television sets and phone plans before leaving the store empty-handed. Next stop was Home Depot....not much selection there, so on to Lowe's. They had the brand and model Mimi had selected, but we became curious about a set which seemed to have good features but was a brand we had not heard of before.....Fisher-Paykel (sp?) Long story short.....Mimi bought the unfamiliar set which is a top-load washer with the features of a front-load. It's a little like the Cabrio, but has a two year warranty instead of one year and was less expensive. Mimi said they had good luck when they bought one of the first Toyota cars in the country when no one had heard of them, so she is willing to give this Italian set a try. She should get them by next weekend or mid-week of next week.
It was a GREAT day off!!!
