Corned Beef & Cabbage Day

Ah, yes, there was a wee bit of green going on in the resort today. Even in the pool-no it wasn't green! Staying home today. Did some reading outside again. Down to the last story in the book. Can't believe I'm really reading. Marla had to watch me to make sure. Made up an Excel spreadsheet for Marla's mileage for her volunteer work with the hospice. Then she can just refer to the chart when she logs her miles. Went over for corned beef & cabbage for lunch. Was really tender-no need for a knife to cut it. Was really good. Sat with Kay (from the pool) and her husband Ray. He has a sister Fay Kay. Good story and you'll remember their names that way. Back home with the local grocery ads. Seems warmer today than yesterday. I sewed the top of Rte 66 together. I've ripped apart the backing so I can move some blocks around-especially blocks I don't care for will be moved to the outer edges that will get cut off more. Went outside to find a breeze again. None to be found. Gave in and turned on the air and closed up the windows. It works! Didn't take long to cool off the place. I was reading; Marla went to the bedroom to watch tv. I went to investigate what she was up to and heated up my bag of rice to put under my knee. Was working nicely, so I got out a new bag I bought last week at market day and heated that up for my hip and down the left leg. Watching NCIS reruns. Marla got thirsty for a gimlet. Too hard to drink those while laying in bed. Moved to the chair with my drink and wheat bag. Helped relax the muscles. We had leftover Mexican food and salad for supper. Was good the 2nd time around, too. Spent a little time checking out our plans for tomorrow. Going to the Verde Canyon Railroad tour. 3 1/2 hour train ride. It's about 2 hours away. More later...
