I've been lazy again!

Sunday, we had Cuban sandwiches with Sonsearae and Chris at their house.  The guys enjoyed them. I've never had one, but I did taste the pork that was used. Quite tasty.  Veggie tray with dip, nuts and blueberries is what I chose to eat.  Sonsearae also made blueberry muffins for dessert.

Sonsearae has excellent skills at finding good deals on cruises.  So, we finally found a price we liked for a Margarita Cruise, we're booked for October and will go to Key West, Cozumel, Belize and Roatan.  Seven days and we'll leave from Tampa

Monday, I got my hair cut, while Jim went to the car wash.


  

We then met Sonsearae at Casa Grande for a delicious lunch.  We all had tacos of some sort.  Chips and salsa for the table. Sonsearae had a margarita, I had a beer and Jim chose iced tea.  Then we sent Jim home while we ladies went to Whole Food to get our cream (they were out) and a few other things.

She and I also stopped a new to us farm market.  I thought the prices were kinda high. 

Tuesday Jim had two appointments one at the hospital for an EKG, the other at the VA for PT.  In between we had lunch at home.  After PT we stopped and let Louis out at Sonsearae's request.  She usually drives home from work during her lunch break but she was working a bit further away.  On the way home we stopped at Starbucks for cold drinks that are much to sweet but really a treat!

I started watching the Avengers on my tablet while Jim watched who knows what on his tablet

Today was a very hot day.  Official temperature was 101 degrees.  Might as well be in south Texas!  But I'd rather be in Colorado.  We didn't go anywhere; our lunch was coconut shrimp and Caesar salad. Jim took a late nap.  I finished the above cards

Rain and Other Things

Tuesday was PT day for Jim, because of a touch of vertigo he wasn't required to learn more balance exercises.  But he is trying to keep up.  After his session we went out for a late lunch at Peppers.  Good comforting Mexican food.  I had a draft beer while Jim chose a tequila sunrise.



Of course we had some rain from TS Bertha.  Nothing heavy just intermittent showers which is good.  Keeps coming down and soaks into the ground helping to fill the aquifers.  I don't think we're in drought conditions any longer!  But more would be better

After lunch we just headed home with nothing else on our agenda.

Yesterday was another stay home day.  No plans until dinner out with Sonsearae and Chris at the Black Radish.  They have an interesting menu that changes seasonally and they don't take reservations. It's his birthday!

We just relaxed with our tablets reading and watching videos or movies.  I finally finished watching Thor.  We both showered and picked out nice clothes to wear.  I'm not sure it mattered because dress codes for dining at night have disappeared.  We were picked up around 1430 to get there by 1700.  We did have some rush hour traffic but Chris got us there in one piece!  

We shared some small plates of fried zucchini, bubble potatoes and focaccia.  The guys split the grilled 24 oz ribeye that came with fries and a salad, Sonsearae had the green bean salad and I had peaches and burrata salad,  Jim and Sonsearae had gin and tonic while I chose a dirty martini.  Chris doesn't drink alcohol but he enjoyed his coke.  We practically licked our plates it was that good!

We passed on the dessert menu as Chris wanted to go to Food Glorious Food for his cake, Jim also got a slice of cake.  We ladies passed.  This restaurant has delicious desserts!  One that caught my interest was the Baklava cheesecake...I may have to go back.

We were dropped off at home, we changed into our pajamas and Jim enjoyed his dessert, while I just shook may head and wondered where he put it because we we stuffed.



This morning when he got up he said his bed looked like he wrestled an alligator!  
Do you think it was all the sugar?😉

I slept late but had no trouble sleeping but I did have a lazy morning.  Finally got my act together just before noon and put a load of clothes in the wash machine.  My meals today consisted of leftovers for breakfast and lunch.
