fun times three..

No problem with the Ides of March for me, but then I wasn't wearing a toga or mingling with a group of knife wielding friends.  I did have three kinds of fun though.  First, I am sitting at my own pretty well organized desk to write this blog.  Second, my son and daughter-in-law went with us to supper at Guadalupe's where we caught up on each others news and I was able to enjoy their fabulous pineapple water.  Then, to top off the evening, we went to, if not the funniest, certainly the strangest store I have ever been in.  It's right next door to the restaurant and I think the name is Red Hot Deals.  Across the front of the store is a huge banner that tells you that anything in the store is available for $10 on Fridays, $9 on Thursdays, $8 on Wednesdays and so on.  I may not have those numbers exactly right but $10 is the highest.  Evidently they get their big shipment of new stuff in on Fridays. Lucky us.  There is no rhyme or reason and they are certainly not paying anyone to keep the shelves organized. Long rows of tables are stacked with the most unbelievable assortment of stuff, just all piled together.  Since my husband and I have spent the last couple of weeks in our own personal jumble, we were not remotely tempted.  But in among the piles of anti-barking dog collars, cat toys, dried foods and children's books, my son found a sealed package of material to use in a 3D printer.  He was very pleased because what he got for $10 usually costs $25.  The rest of us just walked out feeling that we had saved a lot of money by not buying anything.  All in all, a very fun evening.
