Today was our coldest temp of the season @ 32. And breezy which always makes it feel colder! I picked up Diane and Lydia so we didn't have to walk to the clubhouse. Lydia is still using here wheeled walker and too darn cold to be out very long - she and Jim are getting acclimated to this weather after spending 2 weeks in Aruba and 2 weeks cruising.
We were off to play canasta - 32 ladies today. Started out good with my partners (Beth and Becky) but we ended up losing badly to Margaret, Diane and Cheryl
Took Diane and Lydia home, chatted with Mark a bit (he finished wiping the wax off Flo) and then Jo Ann and Buddy joined us for what we thought would be lunch at Backyard Social. We weren't sure of this place with the cold weather (big bar and then open area surrounded by food trucks). Buddy and Jo Ann had never been so we walked around (some folks sitting outside in the sun, but inside was very chilly.) At least 3 of the food trucks were not open and 2 others were not there? So....we decided to go to BJ's which is closeby and always good food. It was cold there, too.....arghhh. Even the waitresses were complaining??? So we kept our coats on but we all had their special (different combos + a Pizookie) for $13.99 What a deal. Soup and salad for all (delish) and then Buddy, Jo Ann and Mark had triple chocolate warm cookie in a little skillet with vanilla ice cream and I had a toffee crunch cookie with vanilla ice cream drizzled with caramel...................WONDERFUL!!!!
We drove around a bit, stopped at Coffee Rush and on home....oink oink! Fun time with these great neighbors/friends!
We got to 58 today...but warmer temps coming soon (I hope?)
We've received 4 more Christmas/New Year's cards the past few days....either mail is slow or folks are just getting around to doing their cards? At any rate, always enjoy getting them.
