Lunch out and very little shopping

August 29 – Last night’s showers were nothing like the last couple of nights.  Hope the worse has passed the area!  I think we both slept pretty good!

I wasn’t feeling too well this morning so Bill had leftover waffles and sausage and I just had a bowl of cereal.  My stomach has not been normal since the ferry ride.  I’m not sure if my equilibrium is out of whack or what.

We kind of piddled around this morning and eventually got showered and dressed.  We’d been cooped up all yesterday so we decided to head out for a while.  Bill was ready for lunch so we went to the Hobo Tavern and they had quite a nice crowd.  Bill had a perch sandwich and I had chicken dumpling soup.  It needed a little salt but was pretty tasty.

We stopped at a Goodwill Store but didn’t find anything of interest today.  Then it was on to Joann’s for some yard for my crafting for the next couple of weeks.  I made quick stop at Aldi’s and then Bill dropped me at Dollar Tree for a 2019 wallet calendar.

In the direction of home we stopped at Wal-mart where Bill dropped me off while he gassed up the truck.  I was looking for a salt grinder but they didn’t really have what I was looking for.  So we made a last stop at Meijers and while I browsed he took the truck through the half price car wash.  Again, no luck on the grinder.  The smaller ones come in a set and the others are huge for the RV, so will have to check Bed, Bath and Beyond when I see one.

Time to head home.  I had some nice Sangria I got at World Market while Bill had Snapple.  When it came time to think about food, I didn’t think long.  We had Progresso Chicken noodle soup and I made grilled cheese using tiny torlillas.  Bill really enjoyed it as he loves chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwichs, even with a spin!

Oh, Jean called this morning and asked if we would work Friday, Saturday and Sunday instead this week due to the holiday.  Bill said yes, so we’re off again tomorrow and will have to do our packing up on Sunday between work shifts.

Lunch out and shopping done!

August 5 – Day off, yeaaaa!  We had no definite plans for the days so there was no rush to get up and moving.  Bill’s poison ivy is spreading.  Not good.  He itches all the time, all night, and had tried several creams in addition to alcohol and is taking the pills the doctor prescribed.  Maybe once it all kicks in he’ll get better.  This morning I still only had the 2 patches on the inside of my knees but later in the day my right forearm started itching and I broke out with 3-4 very small spots.  I tried alcohol and later cider vinegar.  The vinegar burns like the dickens, but works better.

Eventually we loaded up of recyclables for the week and went to Meijers.  It was very exciting as we hit our all time high of $21.80, making out total so far $58.20.  We did our dab of shopping and then decided to try the Hobo Tavern for lunch which is only a couple of miles away.  They had a crowd but we got right in.  Service was a little slower than Handsome Hobo but then it was Sunday!  Bill loved his chicken pasta dish and the salad looked great.  I had Beef tenderloin tips with Italian veggies and a mushroom cream sauce with mashed potatoes.  The potatoes had the skins on so that was good and the veggies were totally delicious!  The sauce was good but a little thin and for the most part my tenderloins were good but, a couple were on the chewy side.  Not so chewy that I left anything on my place!

Once we put our few groceries away I had a glass (or two) of wine and finished a book to send my sister while Bill took a nap.  I had taken steaks out to thaw for dinner but since we ate kind of late and I had beef for lunch we decided to finish off some things in things in the fridge.  Still had some raspberry jello pie for dessert so we were good to go.

Chesapeake Shores, one of our favorite shows, started back up tonight at 9, so we were front and center for the new episode.  Then we both read for an hour.  Behind my left ear was starting to itch a bit  and my eyes were getting red and puffy.  NOT a good sign!  I swabbed them all with cider vinegar (NEVER do your eyelids with vinegar)!  OMG that burned so bad!  I had to wipe it off as much as I could and it still stung a while!
