Apache Junction, AZ High 81 Low 53
As the sun slowly returned to the valley, I slowly emerged from hibernation. They are back to playing horseshoes where the lake was over the weekend.
Monday I walked across the street to visit with Ginny and Mickey. We also played cribbage Monday night.
Jim has been working on his boat and fishing stuff most of the week. He and Marv are going fishing on Monday.
I even went up for donuts on Tuesday morning and I don’t usually do that. And that was enough emerging for me. Had to do some laundry and grocery shopping. Other than that, pretty quiet.
On Thursday we went to see Aunt Happy. She is still doing great. Was just coming back from betting on the horse races they hold at her place. I’ve never seen these horses but they are wooden and that’s about all I know. She had won 80 cents but wasn’t happy. She says some times she wins up to $5.00. They had several people with the flu during January so everyone was restricted to their rooms for a week and had their meals delivered to them. But the dining room was full when we left so everybody is feeling better.
Tonight we did have some excitement in our life. We met up with Paul, Jeri and Terry for dinner. In fact Paul drove us in his brand new Jeep. It’s really a good looking ride. He also brought his new Harley over for us to see. He’s having a lot of fun breaking in his new toys.
We planned on going to Late Night Johnny’s for dinner but when Jeri and Terry got there, it was closed. Need to come up with a Plan B. We ended up at Texas Roadhouse. The food is fantastic but it is so noisy I could barely hear Jeri who was right across from me, let alone talk to anybody else. By the time we left there were a whole bunch of people waiting to go in.
And that has been our week.
Hey ! You took a pic of Paul's new Jeep and not of his new Harley !!
ReplyDeleteI really cannot handle noisy eating establishments. We went to silly Al;s and it is so noisy.....will not return until we are handcuffed and have earplugs.
ReplyDeleteIf you think Texas Roadhouse was noisy, you should be here at the elks tonight. It is really, really noisy. More about that later.
ReplyDeleteI'd sure hate to be restricted to my room for a week. I bet Aunt Happy wasn't very happy about that.
ReplyDeleteMore fun to get out and about, sharing a meal with friends.
ReplyDeleteA Jeep and a Harley - mid life crisis? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing Paul's other new toy when it arrives.
ReplyDeleteWith all Jim's knowledge of fishing, I still don't know what a pistol lip gripper is. Surely Jim knows what it is.
Nice to hear Aunt Happy is doing well.
ReplyDeleteWe will be joining y'all for some excitement very soon.
I enjoyed your description of Aunt Happy and the room restrictions! That was a wise plan.
ReplyDeleteI have enough trouble hearing in normal situations, I hate noisy eateries. At least they are not smoky anymore. I'm thankful for small victories. ;c)
ReplyDeleteWe go to Tx Roadhouse for the early bird specials, lower prices and less noise. Food is worth the noise though.
ReplyDeletethe one with the most toys wins?..nice new wheels for Paul!!
ReplyDeleteTexas Roadhouse does have good food, and I like Bob and Jo's plan - go early for the specials, lower prices and less noise. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Sandie. Basically, loud noise is a challenge. I really don't like people who yell--especially all those gas bombs on TV.
