Free Cherry Pie

No, it isn't a Washington Birthday special, just the free pie Wednesday at the Village Inn here in Tucson.  They give free pie slices away with a purchase on Wed from 10am to closing.  I really am addicted to the cherry pie and always order it as my reward.  We bring the pie home with us and then see how long we can resist finishing it off.  Last night was not a record for waiting.

I prefer a table so they usually put us in a section with a waitress we are familar with.  Last night they much have been short a waitress or two since ours had about 10 tables to wait on and she was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.  She is very efficient and good, so service was fine, but I bet she was worn out at the end of her shift.

Earlier we went shopping for a housecoat for me to use while I am in the hospital along with some other required items.  Have any of your bought a robe lately?  Like everything else they have really gone up in price.  I wish I had brought my robe from the cabin, but in the hurry to get out of there it was left behind.

We also stopped by Med Tech to see what some other recommended items are going to cost.  Whew!  Ka ching, ka ching.  I am going to wait and see what I really need before buying out the store, so that will be a task for Gerry to perform one day while I am still in the hospital.  Then the question becomes, what good are these things after all the PT is over and I am well again?   If I get the other knee replaced soon, then I will be set for that, so we will have to find someplace to store all this stuff in the motorhome.  Easier said than done.

Cassie called last night and we setup a video chat with her which last about an hour after talking to her for 30 minutes.  It was good seeing her nice smile and catching up on events in her life.  It was after 12:30 AM when we got off the video chat with her.  It was time for her to fix Jack's lunch since he would be leaving in an hour or two for work.  I think someone is a night owl.

By the time we got off the computer with her it was too late to even think about a blog.  I am still dating this one as Wednesday just to keep it in order.

After reading Jerry's reply in the comment section about his day, I don't think I will ask "how was your day" for a while.  

Have a nice day.      

Free Pie & Disturbed People

This was another errand day and we headed out to finish the chores early.  Since the weather forecast is for very cold weather starting Saturday, we needed to insulate the water hose coming into the motor home.  We had done this in the past and haven't suffered any frozen hoses for the past few years.  We may have to turn the water off this time due to the low forecast of 18 degrees one night.  

After picking up the insulating material we drove over to the Village Inn for a late lunch.  Plus, it is free pie day and I was looking forward to my cherry pie.  Gerry got French Silk pie and we saved both pies for this evening.

When we sat at our table the lady in the adjoining table made a remark about my Hollywood Casino t-shirt.  I joked back that I was a VIP there and she thought I was a real VIP.  That should have been my first clue that this conversation was going south in a hurry.  She kept rambling on and butting into our conversation to the point of being rude.  I told her I was hard of hearing and couldn't understand her and she talked louder.  We ignored her as much as we could but she rambled on.  We both came to the conclusion she had a mental or drug problem.  Just our luck to be seated next to her.

She started ranting because the waitress had gotten a used car for her high school graduation.  For some reason this really set her off and she would not get off the subject.  Then she wanted a beer,  but the waitress said they didn't sell beer at the Village Inn.  That started another rant.  By this time we were finished with our lunch and decided that it would be a good time to leave the restaurant.  

I asked the manager if she was a regular and he said that she was not a regular and was annoying.  That was an understatement.  We did survive the encounter, but I think the woman was high on meth or something.  She was wound up higher than a kite.

We just finished our slice of pie and I thoroughly enjoyed the cherry pie as usual.  Gerry confirmed that she had made a great choice, also.  Now we are too full to move, so I will cut this blog entry short.

We did enjoy a beautiful sunny and warm day and it looks like it will be the last for a week or so.  Rain is in the forecast and cold weather will follow the rain.
