Friday was just another day, bright and sunny. We invited friends over for the evening to teach them to play Mexican Train. A domino game that is quite popular in the southwest. We find that card games, especially are a local thing. No one in the west plays Euchre. Very few in the midwest play Mexican Train or Chicken Foot. In the southwest they play a lot of games with cards, similar to Canasta, that we used to play. Bridge is generally played everywhere, if you can find a foursome to make a table.
We played until almost midnight after having some ice cream and home made cookies. A very nice evening with good friends.
Saturday, It was rainy and Evelyn went to the Farmers Market to get some really fresh vegetables and sweet corn. We had some showers off and on most of the day. It cleared up in the evening and was nice all evening and the next day.
Sunday we were up early and to church. A very good sermon, by one of the associate pastors, and a very nice SS class. Back home, a light lunch and then over to Alan's to watch the Brickyard 400 on satellite tv. A lot less hassle than going to the track early in the morning and then waiting around until the race starts at 2pm. Mark Martin is one of my favorite drivers, and has been for several years. I had hoped he could win it, but just could not get around the 48 car, for a second place finish, Or as some call it, "the first looser".
Monday I spent most of the day at the Ford dealer having he ac worked on in the van. It is working, but still has a problem that is just too expensive to fix, at least, at this time. If works fine and then it will default to the heat side. With some manipulation you can get it back on the cool side and it all works fine. Will just have to live with it this summer. We will be getting into cooler weather before long so it will not be needed.
Tuesday, I worked on the computer getting things caught up. Evelyn worked outside and staked up a tomato plant that came up volunteer. It has blooms and some small tomatoes have set on. Maybe get some tomatoes off of it yet this year. She cut some rhubarb from the garden and stewed it up with sugar and it is quite tasty. A light shower this afternoon and supposed to be more rain and storms tonight. Just hang on and get as much sleep between the storms as possible.
Our photo is from Texas down in Big Bend state park. Just another beatiful rock with the sun shining and the blue sky in one of the RV parks.
