I finally got around to fixing a pot roast on Monday that I had lined up the whole weekend but different plans got in the way. We planned to play card bingo at our park but we just finished eating at 6:45 and I was not walking out on all those dishes!
Tuesday was mahjong and a beautiful card and 4-piece box of chocolates from Ted. He knows not to buy me a big box of candy or flowers (nowhere to go with them) but he figured 4 pieces of candy would not get him in trouble.
We had a bit of excitement on Wednesday. First the electricity went out and all kinds of stories were circulating. Eventually three poles were repaired but no one will say what hit them! At Margarita night later on at the park next door, Bill and Ornell were there holding a table and we were joined by their neighbors Wayne and Gail. About 5:30, though we didn’t see or hear it due to the loud music, a meteor flew through the sky like a ball of fire (described by those who saw it) and caused a sonic boom. They said it flew over Mission to west of here and landed but again no one seems to know where. From a government that could track calves to a pen in Canada during mad cow, there seems to be a lot of “we don’t know, it was nothing or it won’t hurt you” going on all across our nation!
Thursday was breakfast with the ladies and when I got home I made two key lime pies to take to Ornell’s spot next door. They are our Cajun friends who live on the TX/LA border, also from TX Boomers, and she was making gumbo to serve to our other friends from home who are down here and a couple from Montreal. They served them tamales earlier in the week but had to show them how to unwrap them to eat!

Ted, Ornell, Gail and I all went to card bingo and Gail won $32! This weekend Spittin’ Image is performing and they are our favorite act to see.
I have been busy working with the girls to book a 4 day weekend cruise on the Disney Wish to celebrate Kristin’s 50th birthday in May. We have our plane tickets and cabin booked. I am going down for a week arriving two days early and staying 2 days after.
Then we will have a do over of our Covid interrupted Disney World trip of last August. This one will be over Labor Day. Kristin, Ted, CeCe (we have to kidnap her) and us will share a 2/2 family suite at the Grand Floridian for 4 days. It sleeps 9 so we have all kinds of room including a full kitchen and LR. We may do one day at Magic Kingdom but this will be more a resort vacation than park hopping. Ted and I will fly down to be there a week spending the extra time at Kristin’s.

And our Barcelona to Dubai cruise is still on starting in November. Whew!
