Cowboy and I went to dinner last night and he started out by ordering "Blue Ribbon" beer. That was a popular brand back in the fifties. Don't even know if it is available anymore but the restaurant said they didn't have it. Cowboy had picked Red Lobster and it surprised me because lately he has only wanted to go to a small place near us or IHOP> He then ordered a plate of lobster, scallops and shrimp along with baked potato and brocolli. I thought that there was no way he would eat all of that but guess what? he did. Every bite ! I have now officially lost confidence in my cooking skills. He seemed to enjoy himself and that is what is important.
My oldest grandson will be arriving any minute, along with my great grandaughter that I have not seen in about a year. We are going out again ! and then out for breakfast in the morning. I could get used to this. Their trip was delayed by work and then bad weather so we won't have a very long visit but at least I will get to see them.
I talked to another grandson today and he is suggesting that I take their living room furniture instead of buying new. They bought it just a few months ago so it is like new and it turns out a little big for the space they have. It is similar to what I have been looking at. He wants to replace it with a sectional (one of the things I had been looking at). I am considering it. Yesterday I found some I liked at Rooms to Go . I kind of figure this is the last furniture I am likely to have so need to be sure I like it. (I said that the last round too. I have had my furniture for about 12 years and there is not anything really wrong with it but I need a change.)
I got a good number of errands accomplished yesterday and then looked at furniture. Have been doing that for a while. It is not easy to decide which way to go. So many choices ! I guess it keeps me out of trouble.
I think I am just looking for ways to improve my outlook and give me something to think about. Have to be careful I don't do something foolish.
