Fathers Day

 June 21, Fathers Day

An ordinary day at home.  Coffee and cereal with blueberries for breakfast, Jim had tea and cereal.  Sonsearae was bringing us dinner, mostly for Jim, but that's ok because I didn't have to cook.

Decided to watch Mama Mia because it was gloomy and rainy.  It's such a bright cheery movie with lively music. Halfway into it we got hungry so we both had salads.  Jim had a 1905 salad and I just had a veggie and olive salad.

Just as we finished the movie Sonsearae arrived with all sorts of goodies 😊 Meatloaf, taters, gravy, mac & cheese, peas and green beans.  All of Jim's favorites. Even lettuce and tomatoes so we could make a salad also.

We got to hear all about the Alaskan Cruise.  She enjoyed it more than she thought she would.  Of course it was a bucket list item for Chris, so he really enjoyed it!  She brought us a souvenir.  They plan to upload all the pictures to the TV and we'll enjoy a slide show when we visit them.

After she left we were treated to more rain.  I'm hoping the area is getting really soaked and we're not in drought conditions anymore.  It's sad driving around and seeing empty ponds and waterways.

Shopping and Rain

Friday June 19th

No plans other than a run to Whole Foods for my Silk Soy Creamer.  Only place in the city that carries the plain variety.  Once we had coffee and breakfast, caught up on games and dressed we headed to that part of town.  Driving through rain.

Since it was lunchtime we stopped in at 4 Rivers Smokehouse right in the same shopping center.  It was still raining.  Jim had a pulled pork sandwich and I chose 4 sides, fried okra, cornbread, baked beans and Cole slaw.  We left stuffed. Lightly raining.  The parking lot was jammed, there are a half dozen restaurants plus Whole Foods and other shops.  

Jim dropped me at the door and went in search of a parking spot.  He followed me bringing shopping bags.  They didn't have as much creamer as I wanted for both Sonsearae and myself so we'll need to return sometime next week.  Jim has been wanting a 1905 salad that we first had at Columbia Restaurant in St Augustine years ago.  So we got lettuce, ham and Swiss cheese, the other ingredients I have at home.  The dressing is sold in Publix so I don't have to make it!  It has to much oil for my taste.

Saturday June 20th

We had some rain overnight.  Barely heard it.  Not like when we lived in the rig and the walls and roof were slender.  

As promised Lazy Boy called and delivered the chair right at lunchtime.  We've angled it a bit so Jim can recline it all the way should he wish to do so. This angling also allows better TV viewing.  It's a bit darker in real life and I would have preferred a lighter color but it will be used daily

BLT's for lunch with Morning Star Farms Veggie bacon strips.  For fake bacon it's pretty good and I've used it for years and Jim likes it.

After lunch we both had a wee nap and it rained again.  All this rain is bringing out the ants searching for higher ground.  I need to buy more spray!
