Hello, My Friends

Trivia night at the casino! We had a tiebreaker question and lost so came in 3rd. I so enjoy the conversation and camaraderie. I was even able to answer a question!
" Which national advertising campaign featured celebrities with some of the beverage left on their face? " Answer will be at the bottom of this entry if you haven't yelled it out by now.

We are getting MORE rain this morning. Everything is green and lush and WET. It seems we are constantly waiting for it to dry up.

This morning NPR asked for people to submit a haiku that reflects summer without using the word summer.

 Here is my submission:

Quiet deep shadows
River trail beckons my soul
A sanctuary




Answer: Got Milk?

Good Morning!

Busy with the details of life and grateful for the energy to do it. Last night was trivia at the Elks and despite only having two teams a good time was had by all. Butch and I went early and played some pool. We have a system worked out for me because his skill level far exceeds mine. I get as many shots as I can make on my turn but he only gets one. It evens the playing field so we can both enjoy the game.

Since the trivia is continuing at the casino that is where we will be tonight.

I do get a photo now and then and these were backed up in my camera for your viewing pleasure.

Roadtrip

Butch and I were on a road trip and fact-finding mission today. I had an appointment with Dr. Morgan who was the surgeon I had a couple of years ago. She wants to see me annually to see that everything stays in tiptop condition. It was a good trip and all was well.

After that appointment, we stopped at a Verizon place to see what we can do about an Internet connection in Texas when the park gets so loaded down. It seemed like it would work but I did forget two key questions. One was about a contract. I do not want a contract. The second was could I put the extra connection (Hot spot and added fees) on hold for the summer months we do not need it. I do believe I will give her a call and ask those questions tomorrow. Still looking at Google Fi as well.

After that was a trip to Costco. I really loaded up. It had been a while since we had been there. Butch was VERY disappointed because of his standby Skippy Super Chunky Peanut Butter nowhere to be found!
We did find this however!! I love them! Great sub for bread. Loaded up with tuna salad, egg salad, peanut butter or any other sandwich substance will work great. Very tasty!
