Goodbye Mexico

We went to get some new dollar bills for Stephen’s birthday later in the month and then went to pay our homeowner’s insurance. I had them raise our deductible to lower the premium but learned that the deductible would be nearly $3000 in the event of hurricane damage. So I thought $950 was all I needed to pay for. We continued to Walgreen’s to get the deal on diet Pepsi. We went on to CVS to buy a knee brace for Evelyn. We came home to find that the couple we had planned to have lunch with couldn’t go. She has cancer and was feeling bad today, so after lunch we went to Mexico. We wanted pedicures before leaving and some liquor and vanilla. We got these things and a couple of dresses for the daughters and some hair trinkets for the granddaughters. We were home by 3 and I loaded the beverages into the trailer because they are the heaviest items. At 8, Joe and Bonny picked us up and took us to Arturo’s for a snack and music. A man and wife, both English teachers, sang quite beautifully. He is an excellent guitarist and she accompanies on bongo drums. Both are excellent singers. I got to talk a bit with him because he specializes in British literature. We were home by 10. I was happy because I had wakened at 4:30 and was unable to get back to sleep.
