Yesterday Butch and I made a trip to Harlingen. We so rarely get out of the park and we thought it was time. We planned to stop at Tropic Winds to see our friends Mary and Brian Carlson but their assigned spot was empty! That was a surprise. We are curious to find out what is going on with them.
Then we stopped at Marlene and Bernards at Sunshine Park. They had prepared a homemade pan fried chicken dinner and it was out of this world. I cannot remember the last time I have enjoyed such a meal. Homemade pan-fried chicken, real mashed potatoes, chicken gravy made from the pan drippings, green beans from Marlene's garden and coleslaw. What a pleasant surprise! It was like a step back in time. Comfort food. Then we played more than a few games of cribbage and it was nip and tuck the whole way. I reluctantly would say the fellas may have won the most.
We stopped at Wal Mart in Harlingen before returning to Magnolia park and we were surprised there too!! The store was busy but they had enough check out lines open to accommodate the business. Whoa Nelly!! That nearly bowled us over. We were checked out in record time.
So I guess all around it was a day of surprises.
