SHOPPING AGAIN



Yesterday was a very nice day, the high reached 22 but it was cloudy in the afternoon. The low Sunday night was 7C again.

It was great having freshly squeezed orange juice for breakfast. Cathy was away early to go to exercise class. She said it was busy with about 150 people attending. After lunch we needed a few more groceries so we went to the H.E.B. store. They had t-bone steaks on for $2.97/Ib. We have had some beef in the past and I find it very chewy but it may be because it is thinner sliced. These steaks were thicker so we thought we would try them.   

Happy hour had a large turn out with about 20 people showing up. The formed circle, the women on one half of the circle and the men on the other as the topics discussed are quite different. Then once and awhile a common topic comes up and everyone gets involved. The get together went on a little later than usual (6:30) and we had to have a fast dinner as we were invited over to Janet and Ron’s for coffee and cake to celebrate Ron’s birthday at 7 o’clock. I fired up the BBQ and I quickly cooked some burgers. By this time it was dark and Don seeing the flames came over and offered to help me put out the fire and thought the burgers should be cooked. I said they are fine and they were an offering to the Gods.

Sorry, no pictures. (Don took one of the flames on the BBQ but it didn’t turn out.)

Til tomorrow....
