Painting

Pati here
If you remember, we ( the Royal "we") were going to paint the kitchen this year, but it doesn't look like it's gong to happen. didn't happen last year either. And maybe this goes backto our earlier talk about life style. Neither of us wants to do it, although we want it to get done. The year we lived with Daddy, the same thing came up and we actually paid someone to come ina nd paint the kitchen. Worth every penny. Now I just have to find a penny!

Grocery shopping today. Since all of the pensions were out today, all of the seniors were in the grocery stores ( Not that we would ever consider ourselves seniors!) There are special shuttle buses that pick them up for shopping and then take them home again, but sometimes they have to wait a bit for the bus. So the stores have chairs set up for them to sit in while they wait--all lined up in front of a display for toilet paper. H-m-m-m. I wonder if there is a message there? I've really been enjoying the B-B-Q ribs we had while you were here, Beth, so wanted to buy some more and actually found them on sale today. We had checked our freezer before we went, and found nothing but chicken breasts. So it looks like power cooking is in my future. I need to store up some casseroles so that I don't have to cook again for awhile. Anyway, we ended up buy a lot of meat, like beef and fish. So overall, a rather expensive shopping trip. but it was spread out over three stores, so I didn't spend enough in two of the stores to get the special offers that comes if you spend a certian amount. Did get 100 bonus air miles at Safeway though.
