Eating out



What has happened to the steak world?  The last three times I have ordered steak it appeared with awful potatoes, ubiquitous green beans, and steak so thin and over cooked one might be able to see through the meat. The cost of a sliver of steak is ridiculous to begin with. But, I keep trying.  It is so foolish of me, I know. It is like when the nail woman shorted me $15. and I simply looked at the five dollar bill all the way to the car convincing myself that it was my mistake.  That's what I do with the steak order, convince myself that it tastes okay for a $34. bit of beef.

The flowers are glorious this spring.  Andy and I have made several trips to visit flowers all over town and we have brought home some beauties.  The one disappointment is the pool.  Everyone I have talked with says their pools are black to start with then green (we are on the green scene at the moment) but the pool people promise it will get better.)  WHEN???  We have fussed with it for three days and it refuses to get pretty.  Last year at the opening we had hardly anything to do, but this year is different.

We are getting ready for Saturday's wedding, well, not actually dressed and ready, but maintenance appointments are made for Friday and Saturday morning.  Yea. A party!  Another shower is planned for Beth's daughter, Alyssa, in June here in Columbus.  Beth and I leave for New Orleans in a little over two weeks for the first shower.

I have only seen one coyote since Winston's mauling so I hope they have moved on to other areas.  The deer are back and are dining on our peach tree.  They are not afraid of us in the least and simply look at us as if we are silly.

I am wild about Trader Joe's and buy at least one thing I have never had before to test.  I bought Trader Joe's fish nuggets in the frozen food aisle.  Pass that by.

I hope your spring is a happy place.

To the doctor

We are off to the doctor to have Andy checked out since he has had two falls.  We thought to wait until his appointment on the 20th, but aft...
