Market Day on the Square

Bay City, Texas

Weather: low 67 degrees, high 87 degrees, clear skies, light breezes

After my morning walk, we went to the K-2 Restaurant in town for lunch with Lori and her family. In days past, we went to this restaurant a couple times a week because it was considered the best in town. However, our tastes seem to have changed, and the restaurant does not have the same attraction for us as it did. One constant about the restaurant that we do still like is that they have a - guess what?- Saturday hamburger special for lunch that includes a nacho bar. Now, this is something we can get our teeth into. The nacho bar allows you to make your own nachos, and they have all the trimmings to make a memorable plate of nachos.

While driving to the restaurant, we noticed that Market Day on the Square was ongoing. After lunch, we all went to the square and walked around looking at the different crafts, candy, beggars, and other things that we have no need for. I did buy an outdoor plant as a companion for Abe and Mabel. When we get a better Internet connection, I'll share a picture of the latest addition to our collection of flowers and plants.

Once we got home, I did some power meditation. Then, I decided to wipe the outside of the RV down, since it has rained on it a couple times. That took about an hour. While doing the wipedown, I met our next door neighbors, who are Canadians from the province of Saskachewan in Canada, eh. They are nice people who have spent the last four winters in Texas. They like the US and especially Texas. After that, I met a couple from Wisconsin, who own a farm up there that they are trying to sell so they can hit the road fulltime. They have been coming to Texas in the winter for the last three years. Before that, they went to Florida for several years.

Most professional people have a business card that they hand out to acquaintances and people who may have a need for it. During my working life, I also had business cards. Now that we are retired, we think we need a card that we can hand out to people. The card will have the usual information, and will list us as Professional Retirees. When we get it done, we'll show everyone what it looks like.

More later, be safe.
