Travel
I made a quick trip to Costco's pharmacy this morning, intending to go to the grocery afterwards. It started to rain in earnest as I came out of Costco and in just two blocks I revised my plans. Came home and tried to stay warm the rest of the day. I could eat for at least a month with all the food in my cupboards and freezer.
I wanted to respond to a few of the comments yesterday: Craig, I wish I could get my dental work done in Algodones. Since I don't have an RV and thus no place to stay while undergoing dental work, plus the distance between Sacramento and Algodones, I doubt if my net savings would be as much as if I was a snowbird wintering in Arizona or nearby.
Judilyn: I didn't take a picture of the soup since I don't do food presentations - just slap it in a bowl or on a plate and dig in. The soup was good, and I finished it today. A little on the salty side - I added some salt before I remembered I was also using "Better Than Bullion", a bullion type paste that already has salt in it.
WaianaeGal: Thanks for your comment. I looked for your current blog but it seems that you haven't posted recently.
Sorry I'm not consistent about responding to comments. If your comment has your email info I will often reply in that form. So many comments are "No-reply" and I can't write you. (I get all comments in email form, plus they appear on my blog. I eventually delete the emails but the comments remain on my blog permanently.)
While at the library earlier this week I picked up a Rick Steves DVD - Travels in England and Wales. I've never had much desire to spend time in England or Wales, although I think I would enjoy the northern part of the country. I would just have to stay away from places like London - just too darn big to suit me! I decided several years ago that I don't ever want to leave the U.S. again, although I would consider Mexico and Canada - we are all "America" after all - North America.

I'm not feeling well as you can tell from my recent posts, but I did get a huge laugh from one of the comments to yesterday's post. Normally when I get ignorant and rude comments I delete them as soon as I see them and was going to delete...
- Catching Up
My trip is finally catching up with me and I am really tired. This morning I cleaned up the kitchen and then made a big pot of minestrone-style vegetable soup, but this afternoon I sat down with a glass of wine to look at a magazine and fell asleep...

At about 3:30 this afternoon if felt warm enough to shed my flannel pj's and don shorts and a t-shirt. It is in the upper 70's but still feels cool in the house. Every now and then I feel guilty for doing nothing today but reading...

Staying dry indoors!
