No Bones About It . . .
Jan and I headed out a little before 1pm for a movie, shopping, and dinner. We had been wanting to see the latest Night At The Museum movie, as well as several others. But Museum was the oldest so we decided on that one before it went away.
We had seen the first two and enjoyed them, and we liked this one as well. They advertised this one as the last one, but they might have meant the last one with Ben Stiller, since they really left it set up using Ricky Gervais and Rebel Wilson if they decide to continue it. But they will have to continue it without Robin Williams and Mickey Rooney since they both died after the movie was completed, though actually I didn’t realize Mickey Rooney was still alive.
Our next stop was Sam’s Club to pick up our prescriptions. We were picking up 7 prescriptions between the two of us, and I really appreciated that the pharmacy lady went to a lot of extra effort when I mentioned that a couple of them were much higher in price than last time. She did some checking and was able to knock a little over $50 off the bill. That more than paid for our dinner a little later.
Which was our next stop down the Interstate about 10 miles to the Woodlands and Grimaldi’s Pizzeria. Jan and I have never found a place that we like better than Grimaldi’s. We first ate at the original one in New York in 2009 and loved it. It was located in the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Brooklyn Bridge) area of Brooklyn, and was really under the Brooklyn Bridge, which was a couple of hundred feet overhead. Besides the fact that they use fresh sliced Mozzarella cheese, and not shredded, one of the best parts is the crust. Most places we have pizza, we have ‘pizza bones’ left over. Pizza Bones are what our kids used to call the very edge of the crust that didn’t taste very good once you ran out of sauce and cheese. So there was always a pike of pizza bones on the pan after the pizza was gone. But not at Grimaldi’s. Every last bone is gone. It’s that good.
Coming home, I stopped off at an Advance Auto Parts to pick up some graphite lock lubricant. The lock on one of the locking pins on our tow bar has become very difficult to operate, probably because they’re out in the weather and dirt all the time.
Tomorrow we plan on heading out about 11am to make the 120 mile trip back over to the Colorado River Thousand Trails. We’ve done this so many times I think the coach knows the way all by itself.
But like when we left here three weeks ago, we’ll head out about 9am to have breakfast at the nearby Cracker Barrel before we leave.
The highlight of the day will be when Nick and Terry Russell also show up at the Colorado River TT for a week with us. We’re really looking forward to it.
