Sunday

Another gorgeous day and it is forecast to continue through the week.
  I got up a bit early to have a shower and breakfast before attending the church service.  It was well attended today with a good sermon.  Some days pastor Don gets a bit long winded, but not today, so that was nice.  The essence of it was love, pretty fitting with Valentines day not too far off as well as love being one of the underlying messages in Christianity.
  Marg went out to pick up a few things she needed for the party this afternoon.  Then she made a pistachio dessert to take to the Super Bowl party.  Linda & Gary have done this for quite a few years and I think this is about the 3rd or 4th time we have been invited.  Not that we are big football fans, but it generally is a fun time.
  For lunch we had the leftover sloppy joe mixture on buns.  It was still good and we had a pastry with it for desert.  Marg made some drink that everyone is talking about for herself.  She squeezed a fresh lemon into which she added apple cider vinegar and water.  It didn't sound very good and her reaction to the taste pretty much confirmed that.  She said it wasn't bad, but I guess the real test will be if she has it again.  We just finished up just in time as Kenny & Doris stopped in to ask if we wanted to go to the flea market on the trail.  We had some time so why not.  There were lots of changes from last year and we wandered around there for a little over an hour.  I bought a small cold chisel and I don't believe any of the others got anything.  It is just a small one so I cleaned it up on my grinder as well as put a decent edge on it.
  When we got back Marg gave the lady who used to own this place and her niece a tour.  Pauline has seen it since we renovated it but the niece had not and asked to have a look.  Kind of funny but the place seems to have a bit of history.  Then she finished making the dessert, it had to have a topping and then be refrigerated.  She also made some shrimp in a garlic butter for the appetizers at the party.  The Super Bowl game started just after 4, so we went and watched the end of the Phoenix Open.  My favourites did not win, but it went to something like the 3rd playoff hole. The football game was a good one and they had lots of people at their party, I think about 8 couples.    Gary had the TV out in the breezeway and everyone brought appetizers and a dish to share.  We ate well and had a few laughs, a good bunch.
