Recent Happenings

This will be a very short blog today to reflect on what we have been doing interesting lately.  I think the highlight other than finishing some tasks from the "to do" list is sit on the newly screened porch and watch the world go by.  Up here that consists of watching two neighbors come home from work.  Other than those two, we haven't seen a soul up here since Larry Jr. & Grant left on Tuesday.

We did go down to the Washington County library and pick up some movies from their lending library.  They have a liberal check out policy of 6 movies per customer and have recent movies available.  Since we don't have tv reception other than NBC ( which is the same as no reception ), we rely on movies to keep us entertained in the evenings.

It has finally stopped raining every day and hopefully we can get some dryer and warmer weather to clear up this humidity.  The trees hold in the moisture and reluctantly give it up, so it may be a while before we get down to comfortable humidity ranges.

We did go to Australia the other night for dinner.  Well, sort of.  We had some gift cards from Outback Steakhouse and decided it would be a good time to use them.  We arrived early and requested a table and they obliged by putting us at a table for 8 people.  Everyone walked by and looked at us like we were crazy or at least waiting for a large group to appear.  Our meals were excellent and as usual Gerry took part of her steak home for later consumption.  I ordered the 6oz steak and the waiter said that they had larger steaks if I was interested.  Humm, I wonder if there was a message there for me? 

When it came time to pay the bill we used a $50 gift card and I told the waiter we would wait to make sure there was enough funds to cover the meal.  He was very thankful that we waited since there was only $2.18 left on the card and he would have been stiffed big time.  Out came a couple more cards and we were on our way out of there after they cleared the computer.

We drove by this little stream on the way home and took a picture, but it was hard to really show it as it was.


That was our last few days, how were yours?
