Weather: low 72 degrees, high 93 degrees, clear skies
Today is Carolyn's birthday, as she turns xx years old (you don't really think I'm going to publish how old she is, do you?). I tried to make the day special for her, so flowers were the first gift for the day. She likes Alstromerias, so I got her a bouquet of those that also included yellow carnations and purple daisies.
The birthday celebration included a trip to Granbury as we looked for a steam cleaner named The Shark. Carolyn has been wanting one ever since she saw them advertised on television. With the respiratory problems that I've been having, she was looking even harder so she could steam clean the chairs, couch, and several other things. We stopped at Home Depot for something else that they didn't have. However, imagine her surprise when I found The Shark, and bought one.
The next stop was at the RV parts store, where we needed to look for a different fan blade for our stove hood exhaust fan. The old blade was so flexible that it was inefficient at pulling exhaust fumes away from the stove. Success again, as they had just what we were looking for. One thing they didn't have was a water pressure regulator, which I've been looking for. That's okay, since I found a place on the Internet that I can order it from.
A birthday can't be celebrated properly unless you eat out, so we stopped at Chili's for a very good meal. The Chili's in Granbury is probably our favorite for that chain. We've tried some in other places that were forgettable, but this one is okay.
Carolyn said she had a very good birthday. I hope so, and I'm looking forward to her being around for many more. We still have a lot of exploring to do.
The traffic in Granbury was terrible. I don't think it's because of the upcoming holiday. School is out for the summer here, but even that doesn't seem to be causing all the traffic. It appears to us that the economy is booming, so that's probably what's causing all the activity. Now, if the rest of the country could catch up with Texas, we'd be doing fine.
Here's another Texas wildflower. This is a Scarlet Gilia. At least that's what our reference book says. It's about 100 feet from the RV.
More later, be safe.
