Cool Front and Other Stuff

A cool front came through yesterday so the highs were in the low 70's. That happens, it seems, about once every 10 days we will have a cooler-than-the-rest kind of day. I cannot remember the last time we have had a string of this kind of perfect weather from the time we arrived the 1st of November. We are currently in what South Texans call winter and from past experience Spring will begin about the first of February. So for us Spring is very near.
Butch is still doing well after his second eye surgery. It seems to me this second round of drops and other restrictions is going slower than the first but I suppose that is natural.
We went to WalMart yesterday. Not a common occurrence in our lives. I try to stay away from there as much as possible for more reasons than I want to take the time to list. We do have a very few items we prefer to buy there. One of which is their brand of sugar-free lemon drink mix. We were out of it and it has been Butch's drink of choice lately so we went...at 7:30 AM on Sunday morning and I must say it is the perfect time to make that trip. The roads were clear. The parking lot was sparse. And the store itself had very few customers. It made for a pleasant shopping experience. We could get around in the aisles. (Why do so many people feel the need to shop with an entourage?) Checkout went quickly.
And then we went to WhataBurger for breakfast. Butch had biscuits and gravy. I had a sausage,egg and cheese biscuit. Butch had coffee and the bill was $4.47.
Filled up with gas-went through an automated car wash and then back home.

We went for our first walk of the day. They are taking longer and longer as finally the park is beginning to fill with those from up north and we must stop and greet everyone.

So pretty much just an ordinary day in the life of Barb and Butch
