One of the fringe benefits of walking early in the morning
is that I see all the garage sales a few minutes before they
open. I met two African American church ladies who were there for the full figured clothing and determined to be
first in line yesterday. I went back home and got some money and bought some jumper cables and new in the box
white drapery tassels. The ladies had bought up all the hats and the nice clothing. I had some clothes that I had
been going to take to goodwill and they took it for their
church so I felt that it was a valuable garage sale for me
in two ways. These women were about sixty and they had brought their Daddy. They told me he was almost a hundred
and the cooler weather was freezing him. They had to drive
with the windows up. It was about 70 degrees.

We went to Shawnee to get Ted's prescriptions yesterday and Rex's heart worm medicine. We came home and had lunch at
an authentic Mexican restaurant. We are used to Tex Mex at
our favorite Chilenos and the real stuff doesn't do it for
us. We brought most of it home and Rex wouldn't eat it either and hey..I know it is not good for him but once in a
while he deserves a treat. Although this turned out not to be one.

I made the boiling water chocolate cake that Kitchen Tales
has on her blog. It is just so good. I had the recipe at
one time but had lost it. I sent part of it home with
Ellie. It is easy and very, very delicious.
