Where are we today ?
Monday, Labor Day, and we are not going anywhere, everybody else can travel, we are quite comfortable to stay right here. Gonna be about 80 f but with the humidity the low 90's f, weather we really enjoy, in the shade, light breeze and a good book. Have had a couple busy days and quite a few more in the near future, so took a day to ourselves and just puttered around. Research stuff, pick up mail, and enjoy our each other company.
One mail item we picked up today was the KOBO Aura sleep cover I had ordered on E-bay. It is a real leather cover, that puts my KOBO to sleep when I close it. Came with a screen protector and was only $9.90, free shipping too! Best price I could find was $39.00 here for the same one. Purchased it on line Aug 22nd and it was mailed from Hong Kong China (half way around the world). Was received at our mail box Aug 29th!! Now that is really amazing. Mail from Toronto to here takes about as long and thats only 100 miles away.

I am amazed at how fast some things can arrive and others take forever. I ordered a battery charger for my camera when we were in Parker, and it arrived in about 12 hours.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how fast they can ship sruff.
DeleteIsn't shopping great on the internet?
ReplyDeleteIt sure is.
DeleteNice to be able to lay low on the holidays for sure! Just a mention...I made your pork rib recipe on our weberQ this week and those ribs were the best I have ever made. Makes my mouth water just to think of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking out the ribs, we love them like that.
DeleteHow'd we live before Amazon and the Internet? Nice cover you got, a great idea to protect your e-reader.
ReplyDeleteThe interenet does make life so much easier now.
DeleteI use a similar cover for our iPad Mini.
ReplyDeleteI am with you about avoiding travel on long weekends. We make our own long weekends when others cannot do so.
Suzie has a nice one for I-pad mini too, works great.
DeleteIf we don't have to travel on the holidays we will stay put. we have all the other days to do stuff.
That cover is a god-send if you're like me and fall asleep while reading - looks great too.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying the cover and really liked the price. Just close the lid and it goes to sleep.
DeleteWhat a great find on eBay! And the delivery time is out of this world........ha ha well out of this country! :) I purchased a cover for my Kobo too when I got it but even though I can't remember the price, I know it was a lot more than $9.99!
ReplyDeleteToday was another humid day, good one for relaxin'. Can't wait to retire!
Nice to enjoy the hot weather relaxing. Those covers aren't cheap here, I checked them out.
