Good Tuesday Afternoon. It is nice to be above freezing, but it is still cold, damp and occasionally sprinkling a bit. The snow is melting, slowly, but there is still a lot of ice around. Tina’s butterfly chair still has ice cycles on one side. The rest have melted from the eves and roof. Cars are still creeping along the street and I am not sure we can get up the driveway yet, but I believe we can. I hope we can. A trip to the grocery would be nice. Sierra has one more day of cat food left. A loaf of bread would be nice.
Well, Mark didn’t show up to take out the carpet yesterday evening so we shall see what happens tonight. He didn’t call either. Hmmmmmm! I know there is a ton of ice in their drive and parking area so I shouldn’t of expected him to walk over here, but I did think he would of called. We shall see how it goes tonight.
I am going through a box of things I have kept, papers, cards, etc, etc. and it is quite interesting. There is no rhyme or reason as to how and when I put this box together so it is like a treasure hunt looking through everything and being surprised. I found a menu from The Monterey House, Pasadena, Texas. We loved going there to eat, or to pick up and take home. And the prices were very good, even back then, 1n the ’70’s. Example: 3 beef taco’s $.95, Monterey Dinner: Guacamole Salad, chalupa, Chili con Queso, Beef Taco, two enchiladas, Tamale, Chili, Beans, rice, Hot sauce and candy, $2.00. That is the most expensive item on the menu. I wonder what the price is today, and if they are still in business.????
I am waiting for a delivery from Amazon. It should be here this afternoon, and I don’t want to miss it as I want to be at the door so the delivery person can bring it inside. It is very wet outside. they usually set their deliveries right by the door, and that area is still very wet as the ice is dripping there from the “porch” overhang. Also, unless it is the USPS driver, the delivery person neither knocks or rings the doorbell. They just leave it. I think it is called customer UN-satisfaction.

Have a fantastic rest of your day. Make it a cheerful, interesting, adventurous and fun day.
