Burgers and Bingo . . .
As usual Jan got up a couple of hours before me, but about 10 am we both headed out for our walk around the park.
I had started coffee before we left, so we came back to the rig to the smell of freshly-brewed joe.
Then about 1 pm I headed out to visit a client and run some errands, one of which was to get a haircut. After finishing the rest of my errands, I headed back to the rig about 3 pm.
About 4:15 Jan and I headed up the road a few miles to the Stomps Burger Joint. It’s a small place, only about 10 tables, and based on the name we were hoping it was a reincarnation of the late, lamented Tookies, a burger place up in Seabrook. Their most famous burger was the Stomps Ice House Special, which was also Jan’s favorite.
And it was a Tookie’s clone, and it was great. They had all the Tookie’s favorites, just with slightly different names, including the best onion rings I’ve ever eaten.
Besides going to Stomps for the great burgers, we were also meeting our friend Maria there, because afterwards, she and Jan were going down to the Knights of Columbus Hall in La Marque to play Bingo.
Then about 10 pm I drove down to pick Jan up so Maria wouldn’t have to go out of her way to drop Jan off here at the park. Jan had a great time and they’re going to do this again next week.
More tomorrow…
