SUNDAY'S SUMMARY


Posting my summary early today...just 'cause. After completing the kitchen floor re-tiling this past week [image here], we took a day off from any house work, and broke down on the exorbitant entry charge for the Texas State Aquarium. Enjoyed our morning walking around and watching the dolphin show. I took many-a-photos with my cell phone camera, but still have yet to get them uploaded to the computer and resized and watermarked for my blog. Jelly fish, sharks, tropical and colorful fish, birds and more along with several of the three dolphins and their entertaining antics at Dolphin Bay in the aquarium's complex. They will be posted eventually, just when tho, I am not sure. LOL A couple of days later, after our sore muscles went back into hiding [you know --we used muscles we didn't know we had type feeling?] from crawling on hands and knees ripping tile and replacing tile, we did go for a couple hours' walk on the beach. So, so serene and peaceful. The beach access road we chose on the island, this time, it was only Bud and me along with one other guy that was flying his remote-controlled airplane...very quiet; which I love. And yet, to think in a little over a month, it'll be Spring Break again and the beaches will be overrun with college students. :::sigh::: One thing I look forward to after the Spring Breakers returning to class, the beach is 'mine' again and soon to be seaweed season where all the drift seeds show up. I love combing the weeds to find my sea hearts and other drift seeds!! Anyway, I repaid my dear man for all his hard work with the floor, by baking a batch of peanut butter cookies!! The old adage of the way to a man's heart is through his stomach holds true with Bud...cookies'll always get his mojo flowing. And, I must admit, they were gooey delicious with my icy glass of cold milk! I was happy as a pig in a mud hole the other day when I went to our neighborhood H E B's [Texas Grocery Store] and found that Fancy Feast was only 40 cents a can!! Whoa...ask me if I stocked up on it? You betcha!! Also, again...making Bud happy, they had Jimmy Dean sausage [a 12 oz. roll] for $1! Normally, they sell for $2.40---so, I threw several of those in the cart. We won't be going out for our Sunday brunch for a while. LOL So, I went to get some fresh oranges on sale...8 for $1...came home with canned cat food, sausage and oranges. Plus $50 worth of more stuff. I swear, the worst thing you can do is go to the grocery store; hungry. Expecting to pay less than $10 and dole out over $60. The franchise loves suckers shoppers like me. Friday I woke up with a scratchy throat, and yesterday it was mostly a miserable, dry hacking cough. Today, somewhat better, but I think more than anything I need a good night's sleep. Waking up coughing all night is all kinds of wrong!!! I need that - The Nightime, Sniffling, Sneezing, Coughing, Aching, Stuffyhead, Fever, So-You-Can-Rest Medicine. Hmmmmm, H E B's has a pharmaceutical department...dare I go back?
