This and That

  We eat lunch out quite often.  Yesterday after we picked up our CSA box we headed to Walk On's  and had a delicious meal.  Jim had a fried Louisiana plate with some etouffee while I noshed on a Caesar salad.  I washed it down with water and he had sweet tea.   

Summer is heating up here in Tallahassee.  The AC came on around 1730 yesterday.  What is your ideal thermostat setting?  Because of this building I can keep ours at 78 degrees during the day, at night 75 degrees.  We both like it on the cooler side for sleeping but use the ceiling fan and sleep under quilts.

Sonsearae stopped by this morning for her veggies and a short visit.  Always nice to see her!  Shortly after she left we did too.  I had an appointment for a haircut.

Jim dropped me off then took the car through the car wash and tidied it up.  Says he finished up about the time I messaged him I was ready.  I like that as it means he wasn't out in this hot weather to long.  From there we went to Whole Foods to pick up some soy creamer and yummy cherries and blueberries.

Now it was time for lunch!  Stopped in at Casa Grande Margaritas and Cocina. We both ordered a margarita and enjoyed the chips and salsa while we waited for our food.  Unfortunately for me the TV's were showing golf and soccer.  I ordered two tacos and refried beans, Jim had a taco salad.

Back home I got everything put away, caught up on my game and took a nap!  Alcohol induced I'm sure :)  When I got up I noticed Jim was napping also.

Sonsearae stopped by on her way home from work to get her creamer and a half case of Dos Equis, it's been sitting in my pantry since we moved here.  How do I know?  I found items paced in there that I've since replaced because I couldn't find them!

CSA

  

Do you have a local CSA?  I think its wonderful using Local Resources and support local growers.  Hopkins Farms is about an hour north of us in Georgia and they deliver to a drop off point here in Tallahassee.  Sonsearae and I split a half bushel for $35.   We can order weekly on Monday for Thursday delivery.  This is today's haul!  As they state on their website not all of it is grown there

Bananas, peaches, yellow squash, bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn on the cob, onions, red potatoes and a small cabbage (thank goodness! previous boxes have included huge cabbage)..Potato salad! I'll probably eat one of the cucumbers tonight, Cole slaw for the 4th!

The pickup window is 1100-1200 so I woke Jim at 1000 so we could get on the road.  We were on time but we had to wait longer than normal.  It was so funny to see around 20 cars all lined up for their produce

I forget to mention what I'm reading.  Currently I'm reading books by Eddie Dray.  Jim and I met him and his wife Marilyn while we were full timers. He has written about the full time experience and it's a joy to be reminded of the people, places and times we spent together.

Isn't this card lovely?  It's from Tricia and she's an online friend
