It was a very busy day today...finished the tiling of the floor...1/3 grouted. I am beat. Physically beat. But we had a very enjoyable evening. Our good friend Paul is here from New Mexico. Today is Paul's mothers 91st birthday and we went to the nursing home with him (she is currently here in Alpine) to bring a gift and good cheer. She is absolutely in LOVE with Husband!
We visited a bit and then Paul, Husband and I went to the Reata restaurant for dinner. It was SOOOOO good!! I got their signature Tortilla Soup and the Wedge Lettuce salad. Now...that was wonderful! It was a 1/4 head of lettuce (obviously the 'wedge') with a sweet Italian style dressing and chunks of really creamy Bleu Cheese. I will order this again...I could only eat a few mouthfuls of it as I wanted to finish the soup at the restaurant and take the balance of the salad home. I don't eat huge meals and I can't imagine being able to eat soup, salad and an entree all at one time (anymore). Years ago I could polish off the 'Grande platter of anything'...but no more. And I am definitely a soup and salad eater. Great meal...relaxing evening.
I am not sure about the craft show this weekend. Rain is predicted for the whole week. We have literally not had rain in months...and yesterday was a deluge! We had hail...it was quite a storm. And I expect rain before the night is out, tonight. There is not a star in the sky and we can hear some thunder rumbling. And....the extended forcast is for rain through Saturday. The craft show is outside, and I think I just won't take the chance. I have plenty of places to sell, so that's not a problem...I just like to go to craft shows when the opportunity arises. The next one will be most likely around the 4th of July. We'll see.
I bid on some books on ebay. Isn't that a hoot? I have a million to sell, but I bought (I think) a few paperbacks. They are the fast, light Janet Evanovich mystery books that I like. There were several in the lot and I had only read a couple of them, so I will pass them on when I am done. I'll check in a minute to see if I got them. I also bought another beading book on 'techniques' on Amazon.
I also bought a notebook/laptop computer...or whatever you call it. It will be here tomorrow. It was a birthday present from Husband...but I waited till I found the one I wanted at the price I wanted to pay. So I will hopefully get it all lined out tomorrow. Now I can come home from work, shower, go to bed and not move! Does it get any better than that!!
Will write later...have a nice night all!
