A Day Out

I am tired tonight. We were both feeling pretty good this afternoon, so we went out to do some long overdue shopping. First on the agenda was a Costco trip. Besides containers of blueberries, we were out of vitamins. Got that task done and then made a stop at Safeway.

We went to the Safeway store a few miles away on Southern rather than the close to us as the one on Southern has a gas station. I had accumulated six Safeway gas points, so we ended up paying $2.43 a gallon to fill the Suzuki. We also picked up the essentials of orange juice and milk.

Then it was back to Auntie Violet for a quick nap before Juni and Tom picked us up to go out to dinner. They took us to BJ's Brewhouse, which they were interested in checking out as rumor has it there is going to be one going in close to where their house is in Albuquerque.


We had three very good entrees -- and one not so good.

Juni had an amazing jalapeno hamburger.

I had BJ's blond shrimp which I ended up sharing with Forry.








Tom  had what he said was incredible jambalaya.

Forry ordered the Texas style chicken fried steak which was just plain overdone -- in fact it was so hard it was almost burnt! The waitress took it back to the kitchen...

Rather than order something else, we decided Forry would just share my shrimp since there was way more than I could eat.

A little later the manager came out apologizing for the state of Forry's meal and offered to comp dessert for us. BJ's has a freshly baked cookie that comes out still warm with a scoop of ice cream on it -- delicious!

Today was the first day we've really been out and about since the first of the year. It was good, but Forry's already sleeping in his chair and I'm ready for bed.
