Sunflowers and Stew Kits . . .
Jan and I were up very early this morning, but it was for a good reason. We were meeting Lowell, Brandi, Landon, and Aunt Sherry at the Sunflower Bakery & Café for breakfast down in Galveston about 8:30am.
On our way, leaving the park area, we took down the signs we had posted after finding the lost dog last Thursday.
Since we never got a call from anyone, we’re even more convinced he was dumped. But he’s got a good home now.
Just not our home.
We had our usual great breakfast at Sunflower, but what was funny was watching Landon flirt with a cute blonde hostess. He would stare at her with a big smile on his face, and then when she would smile back at him, he would quickly look away or put his head down below the table edge.
He would then peek back over the edge to see if she was still looking at him. And he did the same thing with the same hostess when we were here two weeks ago. He’s gonna be a real heartthrob.
Leaving the café we all drove down to the Seawall to let Landon run around on the beach.
I think Brandi and Lowell’s real reason for this was to just let him run around and tire himself out.
Finally saying our goodbyes, we headed up to the Kroger’s on SR96 to get some groceries.
While perusing the meat department I came across a Beef Stew Kit.
Really. A Beef Stew Kit?
Some Assembly Required?
Is it a kit because you still have to cut up the veggies?
And it was $13.95!
For a couple of bucks of veggies, and 3# of stew meat. Sorry, but this is just ridiculous.
Are people really this lazy that they can’t spend 5 minutes in the produce section?
The bright note in our Kroger’s stop was getting gas there. Their new method of giving you gas points for your purchases meant that I got $1.30 per gallon off my fill up.
Which meant that I only paid $1.67 per gallon.
Nice!
