Had to go down to the post office to mail some bills and pick up our mail. I have signed up for e-bills wherever I can in order to manage our mail clutter. However, I do not seem to be getting anywhere. The main culprits are Triple-A, AARP, my credit union, my automobile insurance company and darn flippers supposedly wanting to make me an offer on my Houston house.
My next stop was the main branch of my bank. Pulled into the parking lot and it was packed, as you know I stay away from lines or crowded places. They have a branch at the local mall that has little foot traffic so chose this option.
I hardly ever go inside the mall. The only stores I frequent there are Ross and Marshalls and you do not have to go inside the mall to access them. I decided to pay Ross a visit but walked the mall. I was so surprised that there were so many stores that have gone out of business. The few that are still open had few people...sad :-(
It was four o'clock and I had not eaten breakfast or lunch so decided to treat myself to a mushroom burger at Whataburger...I know, I am not supposed to eat at fast food joints...but I did anyway, it was delicious and I do not feel the least bit guilty about it.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
Spurs Corner
I love my Spurs but sometimes they drive me crazy. This was a game we HAD to WIN! I am glad we pulled it off but I really sweated the last two minutes.
We have a very tough upcoming schedule, so I am keeping my fingers crossed...GSG!!!

An exhausting day
Got up early to take care of all the errands and chores I did not get to yesterday. I am pretty beat from all the research I have been doing on mother's chronic back pain, the heat and just plain physical fatigue.
Drove dad's old car into town and rolled both windows down...actually the heat was not so bad using this arrangement but then again it was only 98 degrees at the time.
True to my procrastinating ways...I usually put off buying my license plate tags to the last minute. Was expecting a big crowd but there was only one person in front of me. Living in a small town does have its advantages.
Went by the hospital to pick up a copy of mother's MRI for her upcoming appointment in San Angelo, Texas. It paid to call ahead of time or I would have had to make two trips. Was told I had to take a letter signed by her authorizing me to pick this up on her behalf along with her picture I.D. as well as mine. It is good to see they have measures in place to protect patients records.
I went to HEB to pick up a couple of items, was going to use their free phone to call Mom. It appears that either it was not working or they disconnected it :-( Oh well...I am still not going to buy a cell phone!
For my European readers who ask that I keep posting the gasoline prices in the States...here are the going prices in Del Rio, Texas today. I apologize for the poor quality...I took them through a dirty windshield! Click on the pictures to enlarge.
Late this afternoon I took a two hour nap, got up at 9:00 p.m. and had to go water the trees and plants that are looking pathetic with the three digit temperatures we have been experiencing lately. It took me two hours to water them and I could have probably stayed out there a little longer.
