Took a chance and went to In 'n' Out - wasn't too too terrible, so I got a couple of cheeseburgers and fries, brought 'em home, and ate 'em all up - perfect meal.

Yes DR JANE....that is what I heard as well...and so I am putting it to the test....one step at a time.

All you can do is one step at a time.  In my opinion the greater the pain at the loss the luckier you were when you had the person in your life.  It is a double edge sword.

Both movies were pretty good...very different from each other, but I didn't care for Ocean's Eight as much as I though I would.  Oh, well.  My niece enjoyed them.

I was hoping Ocean's Eight would be more entertaining even if the reviews aren't great.

We stopped on the way home at Savona's.  Keith had iced tea and I had a chocolate ice cream cone.

Once home I suggested we sit on the patio and have a glass of wine.  To my shock Keith agreed.

Watching Dishonored but thinking about a treat of a sweet and what that might be exactly.

This morning I put out two loads of laundry to do in the afternoon.  Having a glass of delicious Pinot Grigio was far more enjoyable.

I had the blueberry pancakes but substituted strawberries for the topping and had a dab of whipped cream for a patriotic red, white and blue breakfast

they are celebrating their 5 year anniversary as well as the 4th of July.  If you wore something thematic they gave you a free cactus blossom (think outback's blooming onion)

When we visted in June we were given sealed envelopes to bring back during the anniversary celebration.  When they opened ours we received 2 coupons each good for a free entree and one for a free appetizer

It has been relatively quiet in the neighborhood today , normally on the 4th it sounds like you are in the middle of a firefight but today there was just the occasional boom

We can see them from our front stoop but there are trees that partially block all but the highest soaring ones

Did your meal cost you anything?
