Val went for her exercises in the morning and after showering I walked Tucker. We went to “Total Wine” in Phoenix to get more bourbon, wine and beer. Val saw a BIG LOT store so we went over and found our lamp and bought it. We stopped at Camping World for a part on the screen door but no success there and we actually left without buying anything!? AMAZING!!!! We came home, had a drink outside, talked to a couple of neighbours then it was time for dinner.
I went to bed early after talking with grand-daughter Vanessa and wishing her Happy Birthday...20 y.o, and no longer a teenager. Val stayed up to finish watching a program on TV then came to bed too.
McKinley, Val’s grand-daughter is a year old today; they grow so fast, don’t they?
After Val exercises and me picking up our mail, we went Geo-Caching. By the way, I can’t remember if I mentioned this before but we also got two new folding chairs that I had ordered on line. Same as Terry and Glenda! We found all the caches we had missed previously then came home and had a drink before dinner. I sorted our mail and brought our accounts to date.
We called our financial adviser and moved money around to safeguard it. We lost a substantial amount in the past 4 months and it doesn’t look like it will rebound in the near future!? After drying our tears, we went geo caching and found another dozen. We stopped at “The Place”, a local pub and had a beer and snack then came home. I also returned our “Virgin MIFI” as I found it too slow and frustrating. It took 20 minutes to download a 12 MB file. A bit ridiculous, wouldn’t you think?
No exercises, no dancing this morning, we went geo caching and looking back, I wish we had stayed home, well....maybe! We had 6 caches to find and on the third one, Val had a mishap. She went to climb around a pile of rocks, slipped and cut her shin wide open on a granite rock. There was lots of blood and after squeezing the wound shut,, I ran to the truck and got our first-aid kit and got that bandaged in no time. We drove to the clinic where they cleaned it, gave tetanus shot, stitched it together and gave us the bill...$722 US. We were both in shock as we were expecting maybe $300 at the most. Anyway, Val is OK and that is the main thing. We came home and spent a quiet evening at home.
