Doing it all over again . . .
Today was pretty much a repeat of yesterday. And since yesterday was really nice, dittos for today.
One thing that made today better was that Jan baked cookies, her Almond Crescents, to be exact. And they’re also Nick’s favorite.
Jan had planned to bake them while we were on the road coming here Sunday, but that got cancelled when she woke up with a migraine. So today was her day to make it up to Nick.
About 2pm Jan and I headed out for the afternoon. After dropping Jan off to get her hair done, I started making the rounds again, collecting gift certificates for the rally. Got a number of certificates, with some callbacks for tomorrow.
Picking up Jan from the hair place, she checked out several nail places, trying to get a pedicure, but finally ended up making an appointment for tomorrow.
Finally getting back to the rig, we goofed off a while before finally heading out to dinner with Nick and Terry. We ended up at CJ’s HighMark, a really good restaurant located by a golf course. Along with our meal we spend a good bit of time talking about where we’re going after the rally is over.
And once again after dinner, we all set outside and talked, mostly about books we’ve read and authors we liked. It would have probably gone on longer, but the bugs came out and we went in.
Another nice day.
Under the heading of “I’m glad I bought gas yesterday, and Nick wishes he had”, when I filled up the toad yesterday, unleaded was $3.65. Today when Nick filled up, it was $3.95. A 30 cent jump in one day, and this was every station in town.
Talk about “OUCH”!
