The wind blew here today with gusts up to 60 mph. It got up to about 104 degrees. I didn’t sleep but about three hours last night, but felt o.k. Today we got going about 10 a.m. and took a drive up into Red Rock Canyon. I have always loved that area since I was a small child. It’s beautiful there. Hopefully when the laptop gets totally fixed I’ll be able to download and show you some photos.
We got back in to town about 2 p.m. and had some lunch, then went shopping – Walmart – where I finally got the nose pads on my glasses repaired. They feel so much better. There has been no place I could find around Pinedale or Jackson to get them fixed. I got a lot of the OTC medicines I need there for better price than at home. I almost bought a small George Foreman grill machine, since I don't have the grill on my new stove like I had with the Jenn-Aire - have to broil or fry, which is o.k. But I kind of miss that grill. Then decided to think about it for a while longer. It's not very expensive, just don't have room to put it away. We also went to Williams Sonoma, and I picked up some things in there for the kitchen. Debbie got some gifts there for a friend who is moving into a new home.
Then we went to Linens and Things where I bought some new blankets. Now when we have guests they will have nice bedding instead of very old blankets that have been in the house for 40 (+?) years. I also wanted a toilet paper holder like one Debbie has for our bathroom, but they were out of those. We might go back for it later. It is configured like one of those holders for pop cans, just bigger. Looked like a good idea for storing t.p. under the counter. It was good to get everything I’ve had on my long term list.
After we got home Debbie fixed salmon and fried rice, and I made a blackberry and raspberry pie using up the berries she had bought for Saturday’s dinner before they spoiled. They seemed to really enjoy he pie.
Today is Tayler’s birthday and her boyfriend Jeremy and she had a date to go to dinner. She is 18 now. Tayler is very small and thin. She looked so beautiful all dressed up in a red strapless dress. He surprised her and made her close her eyes while he took her to his house where he had cooked dinner for them, steak, shrimp and salad. So I teased her about getting all dressed up just to go to his house instead of going to the fancy restaurant he had promised. It sounded like she was really pleased with his plan.
