Out of my Cave

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.

  2. I 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.

  3. If you think Texas Roadhouse was noisy, you should be here at the elks tonight. It is really, really noisy. More about that later.

  4. I'd sure hate to be restricted to my room for a week. I bet Aunt Happy wasn't very happy about that.

  7. I'm looking forward to seeing Paul's other new toy when it arrives.
    With all Jim's knowledge of fishing, I still don't know what a pistol lip gripper is. Surely Jim knows what it is.

  9. I enjoyed your description of Aunt Happy and the room restrictions! That was a wise plan.

  10. I 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)

  11. We go to Tx Roadhouse for the early bird specials, lower prices and less noise. Food is worth the noise though.

  13. Texas Roadhouse does have good food, and I like Bob and Jo's plan - go early for the specials, lower prices and less noise. :)

  14. I'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.
