Making Headway

Got up early and decided to hit the grocery stores before the masses arrived.  As I have mentioned on various occasions, I am not a morning person, so I was shocked that on Sunday there would be people at 7:00 a.m. grocery shopping.  Guess I figured they would be sleeping late or getting ready for church…guess I was wrong!

My first stop was Joe V’s and I lucked out with the special of the day…Restaurant style chips 14 oz.  These sell in Del Rio for $1.50 each and I got them…2 for $1.00 !!!

Have you noticed how high mayonnaise has been lately?  Almost reaching $4.00…well I found it here for $1.98.

Then it was off to Food Town where I found a 3lb bag of small red potatoes for $1.59 and 5 lb bag of carrots for $2.99, avocados 3/ $1.00 and my favorite Blue Bell ice cream ½ gallon for $3.33 with their in-store coupon.  Hunts tomato sauce sold for 3/ $1.00 and even though a couple months ago I bought it 4/1.00 it is still a good price in comparison to what it sells for in Del Rio.

This afternoon after the sun went down I tackled the backyard, stayed out till 9:00 p.m. but was not able to finish. Grass is way too high, hopefully I can finish it off tomorrow but I wont hold my breath on that happening.

I am so surprised that after all the rain we got there was not a single mosquito out there.  Guess I better hurry up before their eggs start to hatch.  As usual due to my CRS, I forgot to bring Skin So Soft the only mosquito repellent that works for me.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
