Friday, March 2nd

Well the end of another week. Where does the time go?

Took a ride on the bike this AM, been a while since I was out on it & it showed in how winded I was when I got through. It was a bit chilly even in the sun with the wind this AM. When it gets blowing down here there can be some serious wind.

It was the ladies tea today, so we got busy just before lunch. Marg & I went over and helped them set the tables & chairs up. As in the past, they made a big U shaped configuration so they could feel like one big group and chat with each other. Kenny & I put water in huge pots, then on the stove and set them to boil. The big pot is probably 3 gallons & the other not much smaller. Everyone brings something to share, either appetizer like or pastry. Marg made her famous deviled eggs and a dish with tortilla chips/salsa. She put the two types of salsa in clear glasses, they looked pretty neat, especially the mango salsa. When they arrive, Kenny & I put thermous pitchers of hot water on every table and then the ladies pass the food around. They have quite a program: Juva plays the piano, some ladies recite things and then they share a memorable moment from an influential woman in their lives. There was a prize for the oldest & the youngest, the youngest was pre-school, Aggies granddaughter. Each person got a container of bubbles and at some point they all blew bubbles. Some ladies wore hats, one wore a fascinator. Everyone was jealous when Marg told them she had a date to go to Buckingham palace in August. A fun day for the ladies.

After we went out looking for a window. We are trying to find one for the cabin. We want it small & it has to open. We are thinking it would help for ventilation in the summer. No luck yet.

This evening we went to Chili's for supper with Kenny & Doris. Shared some laughs and the food was very good. I had fajita's & marg had quesadilla's. The beer was blue moon, a nice wheat beer.

Interesting factoid today. Some guys were saying the road runners down here are a problem with pets, expecially small dogs. I guess they are vicious and will even take after a rattlesnake and kill it to eat. Not like the ones in the cartoons, LOL.
