Sometimes the most surprising things can happen if you are not in a rush to leave and move on to a new place. That was true in the morning we were going to leave Moab.
We picked up our repaired window blind when we returned to the RV and installed it, good as new—actually better: the new cord is twice the thickness of the original and should last much longer. After relaxing with the dogs, we had a very tasty dinner at the busy Moab Brewery (turn your sound way down if you go to this link) and followed it with locating another geocache on the edge of the parking lot outside the restaurant.
In the morning Judy got her hair cut by an older gray-haired lady working out of a converted one-car garage in town. (She only works on gray hair she told Judy.) She was recommended by a gray-haired woman Judy met at the RV park. Judy was very pleased with the work she did.
As we left town, paused at a weekly farmer’s market supported by local growers who are really proud of their produce: e.g., tomatoes at $3.50/pound were probably too good for us. Fortunately, we stopped at the WabiSabi Luxury Thrift Store which turned out to a treasure trove of surprising bargains and interesting items: Judy found good quality clothes and a pair of running tights that sells for well over $100 for $5; Hughes bought several good mysteries and CDs for a dollar each; and we now own a solar-powered Bhutanese prayer wheel that shines like a jewel in out front window (no more having to turn a prayer wheel by hand!). Seniors regularly get a 30%–50% discount on purchases. It’s one of the best thrift stores we’ve visited, and we do look around: good selection, great quality, outstanding prices! If you are in Moab, and need cowboy boots, a gun, toys, clothing, a good read, or decorative piece for your house, don’t miss this opportunity. They’ve got it all.
