  • Good afternoon. We went to the commissary this morning, came back home, put everything away and are now just vegging until the game comes on. Jack is snoozing in his chair and I just balanced my checkbook, put in some receipts and am just hanging out. It poured rain so hard you couldn’t see this morning so we nixed the boxes at Lowes and dinner out. We were going to Gengis Grill but I fed up with sloshing in the rain. We’ll go tomorrow after Jack gets home from getting the hitch put on.

    We had a real idiot bagging groceries. Took me forever to get them put away because she just threw stuff in bags. She put two 6 pack bottles of soda in one bag.

    Jean: Jack decided he wanted cheapo pizza so he went to Little Caesars. I actually like their cheese pizza when it’s hot and he had to wait for fresh so it was nice and hot when he got home. Whatever happens to the garage they have to fix. It’s not our responsibility. Right now it looks almost like thin vines but we’ll have to watch it ad keep trying to cut it back. We have a really good Chinese buffet here but we rarely go there. We usually just get it at the little take out place a couple miles fro here. They have really good egg drop and hot and sour soup. They give you fried wanton pieces instead of crackers to put in it. I like general tso’s chicken, sweet n sour chicken, low mein, fried rice, egg or spring rolls. I eat some pork dishes, but I like chicken ones better.

    You all have a nice Sunday.
  • Good Afternoon! We have sunshine and it’s 60 degrees outside! All of our back yard snow is GONE! We still have a pile in front where the sun doesn’t hit but with warmer temperatures it will be gone soon. Zowie’s first soccer game yesterday was postponed because the field still had snow piles and mud. I was glad as it wasn’t that warm up there either. We had Humor Sunday at church this morning. Bob’s group sang a couple of lively songs, then the women did a couple silly singing routines. Someone found some appropriate songs that were fun for the congregation to sing. The pastor injected some humor in his sermon and only talked for 20 minutes so we got out when we should have. This afternoon I’ve been sorting through shoes in a spare bedroom closet, some I had forgotten I put in there.

    “Gma,” we are supposed to get some rain later in the week and we don’t need any more “wet” right now. Our grass is green in some places which is nice to see instead of white. I must admit our grocery checkers and sackers are good, and will group like items together. My only complaint is sometimes they will double bag and make the bags heavier than I like. When my shoulder was so sore I would ask them not to do that. The one store has mandatory carry out but if I just have one or two bags will tell them no. The other store has drive up but I haven’t done that in years. Their carts are also wet if it rains or snows. We have another Chinese restaurant in town and they always have my favorite cashew chicken on the buffet but their crab rangoons aren’t as good. Guess it is a trade off. I like any of the meat and veggie choices except spicy and they are labeled.

    I need to get back to my shoe sorting and find some shoe boxes. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
