Restful


Last night after Buddy Lee got home, we packed a picnic lunch and drove down to Farragut Park to eat. We spread out our quilted blanket on the grass verge overlooking the lake.

You could be seeing pics of us on the blanket, the deer we saw, the prairie dogs that Izzy ran after voraciously, or the ducks that paddled to see us as we walked on the docks. But NO, I forgot to take my damn camera.

Remind me to get a piercing in my right wrist so that I may attach a chain to the camera. Thus, it will be with me permanently!

After a wonderful sleep last night with temps around 47F degrees and the ability to leave the windows open all night long Buddy L went to get lattes this morning. As he was in line getting them, the latte girl had made contact with a local (country) radio station that was giving away FREE tickets to Clint Black. I hate Clint Black. His singing is nasal. That's MY opinion - don't bitch. Mostly, I dislike most country except for select Trace Adkins songs (such a deep voice yummy) or ANYTHING by Eddie Rabbitt - oooh, driving my life away, looking for a better day...huh? What? Oh. Sorry. Just lost in the past-

So BL got free tickets to see CB at the Two Rivers Casino which has a new venue with Festival Seating - *in other words - sit on the grass, bring your own seats* They want to encourage attendance, (what is Clint Black really THAT old and THAT bad that they have to 'encourage attendance'????) anyway, BL wants to go just to have something to do and "if it's free, it's for me!" plus, there will be 3 other bands there. They might be good. Or we might leave early.

The wind is blowing at a brisk 10 mph, with lots of gusts. So no bike riding for me today. I will go down to the gym room and exercise for an hour, then tan. Work on quilt again today. Looks to be a very nice day outside, so maybe more mowing later.

Ben & Jerry's have an ice cream flavor - Cake Batter. Thinking that this would satisfy my craving like TCBY's Cake Mix, I decided to try it. They must have loaded it with the incorrect flavor as it tastes like chocolate & vanilla; weaved ribbons of ice cream. Not Cake Batter at all. Unless you have ever tasted chocolate & vanilla cake. Odd.

Just to let you know, we didn't win the lottery.
