Went to Brownsville on Tuesday. SAS Factory Outlet and Sam’s Club. We ate lunch at Lubys in the Sunrise Mall and then walked the entire perimeter of the Mall. We needed to walk off all we ate. On our walk we came across a two-level Merry-Go-Round or Carousel. What’s the difference, I wonder? This thing was beautiful; all lit up like a Christmas tree. There were some little kids riding it with their mama’s and they were having a blast laughing and giggling. Who would have guessed that a Merry-Go-Round could hold its thrill for the newest generation? I posted a picture of it on Webshots. I tried to upgrade my blog so I could put pictures in the appropriate places. The blog people are not accepting upgrades right now. It isn’t often that people will not take your money.

The plan yesterday was to go for a bike ride but a cold front went through and at departure time (8:00 A M) it was only 47 degrees. Too cold for biking so we changed our plans and did laundry instead. We had the laundry room to ourselves. That will change in January when the Snowbirds who wait till after Christmas come down.
We walked to the famous Don-Wes Flea Market and looked the place over. It is always fun to look. I did see a couple items of interest that I may go back and look at again to see if my interest held up to the test of time. We stopped at the Farmers Market on the way home and loaded up. Butch grilled burgers for supper while I prepared hash browns and sautéed some onion and pepper rings.

There is one spot under the steps that Angel can slip out of in the screen room. I look the other way now and then and let her go. She doesn’t venture far and comes back when I call her, which is strange. There are other cats in the park with ID collars that move about unleashed. I do not believe they are a problem but if there is even one complaint Angel will have to lose her little bit of freedom. She seems to be content now that her home isn’t rockin’ and rollin’ down the highway.
