I had bought a cassette player on my last set of errands. The one in my feather studio is fading away. I have lots of cassettes and they are easier to change out than CDs when working with glue and feathers.

What I hadn’t realized was that the speakers I wanted to hook it into had only wires for the connections, not pins. That didn’t work.

And at Kohl’s on my last shopping trip, I had gotten two $10 Kohl cash certificates that needed to be used quickly. Plus an unusual timing made it possible for me to use my 30% off coupon during two of the days the Kohl cash could be used.

I hadn’t brought the coupons I collect for my friend to her on my last trip over in her neighborhood, so called and told her I would do that.

I had found a really nice blouse the last visit that when I wore it, many people complimented me on it. So I thought I’d check for another blouse.I did find a plain teal top that would be about $3.00 with my discount and bought two more pairs of sandals bringing my total a little above the coupons value. But I really haven’t bought shoes in many, many years, so was happy to find one that felt comfortable before my other ones totally fell apart.

I had planned on checking into a pawn shop for speakers, but when I was chatting my my friend, I told her about my speaker problem. At first she dove into her bags of cords to see if she had a converter. But no, she didn’t have the proper type of converter, but had a better idea. She had a whole little cassette player and radio that she wasn’t using. She had gotten it for free from a friend she helped with a garage sale. It even has a remote control so I could switch from cassette to radio without touching it. And it wasn’t even plugged in. She said she could use the shelf space much better with it gone. Win!

One never knows what will come one’s way when just talking about a situation with no expectations.
