Montgomery's & Guadalajara Grill

Yesterday we had a few jobs around the motorhome and some errands to run in to get ready to leave here on Saturday morning.  I have been watching the weather forecasts along our planned route and it looks like we can keep just ahead of bad weather.  Nothing serious out there, but we like to avoid the thunderstorms in West Texas.  They can be brutal like the one we went through last year.

We went to Montgomery's Bar & Grill last night and had a good time.  We like to go during happy hour and take advantage of cheaper drinks.  Not cheap drinks, but cheaper.  Gerry had a nice shrimp cocktail and I had my favorite sandwich there, a Philly Cheese Steak.  I was a little surprised to see so many onions on the sandwich.  At least they were easy to pull off the sandwich.

After dinner we stopped by Dairy Queen for the special of the month.  The Peanut Buster parfait was the special and it was huge.  We couldn't eat all of it in one serving and put half of it in the freezer.  It made for a nice late night snack.

Today was more work done on the motorhome and getting ready to hit the road.  It seems like there are a lot of small details to fix even though we have been sitting still for about 5 months.  Nothing major, but they all add up.

We went to Guadalajara Cafe for dinner this evening.  We like to get there early and get a seat before the mob shows up.  They weren't so busy tonight, so we could have arrived later, but we got seated quickly and the drinks came in fast.  We usually order from the appetizer menu since the meals are so large and we can't finish the regular meals.  

They have a nice feature there in that they make salsa right at your table to your order.  We got the medium salsa tonight and it bordered on being too hot for me.  I did step up and eat my share and part of Gerry's share also.  We hung around to hear the Mariachi band play some tunes and then headed back to the motorhome.


The temps have dropped a little, but it still was hot out there today.  Most of the jobs were in the shade of the motorhome, so that was great.  They are calling for rain tonight after midnight and some more in the morning.  That will be a welcome relief.

Ron K went up to Show Low on Monday morning and all our friends have deserted us.  We hope Ron & Dee have a great summer and enjoy the great Show Low summer weather.

  1. We've been wanting to go to Montgomery's, and actually had that place in mind if we two couples could get together before your departure. Where is Guadalajara, and don't be a smarty and tell me it's in Mexico. I already know that! Fresh made salsa? Wow!
