It was off to Mexico today for a little shopping and lunch. In my favorite store, I was looking at some planters and was wondering if I could convince Ed to carry them back to the truck, which would entail carrying them down the street, across the bridge, through customs, across the road to the back of the parking lot, where he insists on parking (a minimum of 10 minutes of carrying at least 20 pounds of pottery). About the same time as I was voicing my thoughts to Carol, a fellow from the store walked by and asked if we had any questions. He then commented that heavy packages could be carried across the border to your vehicle as the fellows in the store had passports and thus could cross the border. So that's what we did. It was well worth the tip I paid.

Today we lunched at a restaurant that was new to Ed and I. Ed had chicken enchiladas in mole sauce and I had a stuffed pepper --- both were very good. The margarita Ed had was not so good, in fact John and Ed agreed that it was about the worst margarita they have ever had. I offered them some of my coke and they actually poured a bit of it into their margaritas --- said it improved the drink.

It was movie night at the rec hall. Last week's audience had chosen Dolphin Tail for tonight's movie. If you haven't seen it already I would recommend it. Very good movie even though it almost made me cry.

Today was a beautiful day, sunny with a high of 88. Tomorrow's forecast cloudy with a high of 62, Thursday's forecast sunny with a high of 80. Texas winter weather --- you just gotta love it.
