orders
Up at 5:30 am. Mary had a 7:30 appointment at the medical center for an ultrasound that Dr. Tidmore ordered. That done, we breakfasted at Krystals, ordering Express Plates with coupons. Sister-in-law Delores happened to be there. We three shared a table.
Though I thought the eggs "over medium" excellent and the coffee passable, we are not likely to eat breakfast at Krystals again any time soon. Mary likes grits, but was disgusted by what she got swimming in butter. I don't like my toast buttered. Granted, the toast and grits could have been easily remedied by us while ordering. However, the tasteless country sausage was not country and barely sausage. The killer for me though was the discomfort I felt eating an American breakfast with plastic and paper.
The new modem-router from at&t arrived. With a little help from Mary, I had it connected and set up in no time.
Salad with turkey for lunch.Spent a great deal of time during the afternoon tying up loose ends with the internet and printer.
Ana, the Guatemalan, came, at Mary's invitation, bringing along her Sebastian, Julie and Ana. Mary enjoyed spoiling the kids with sweets and eats.
Ana.
Delores came briefly with gifts of grapes and strawberries. She had been shopping at Cool Springs.Mary took Ana and kids out in the heat to raid George's garden. I'm sure he won't mind. Ana took squash, peas, tomatoes and a watermelon. Mary was content with butter beans and four mostly green tomatoes.
Being days without the internet was frustrating, but, at the same time, liberating.

Sounds like the company was fun and the lunch and snacks delicious! George's garden must really be productive. Nice that he is willing to share! Glad to see you back online!!
Glad you're back. What kind of place serves food with paper plates and plastic flatware? A fast food joint, that's who! They wouldn't get me back, either.
The little girl is adorable.
Fortunately the lunch compensated the low and tasteless breakfast!!:)
Ana is cute an d full of life .

I remember when we (Hawaii) had a serious electrical outage several years ago. I ended cleaning my screens and jalousies and many other things got done. I had an epiphany then about how maybe the computer and internet might not be a good thing.
Your food plates are fantastic--this one looked great.
You start with picturing a yummy looking salad, then later mention fruits and vegetables. Just reading your post is making me hungry, but at least its for healthy food.
Really, paper plates in a restaurant? Yikes.
That's the trouble with cooking your own nutritious meals, pretty soon there's not a restaurant in town that can compete with what you get at home.
