Pizza Today

I am going over to my sister's today. We are going out for lunch at the Pizza Ranch. I love their Pizza. They have a huge buffet with all kinds of salads, pizza and much more. You can have all you can eat and they have the best mashed potatoes and gravy too with broasted chicken. You can also have broasted potatoes and sometimes potato chips they make. Cheese sticks and dip are good too. I don't think they have anything I don't like. Cactus bread for dessert is always good too and they make it in apple, peach or blueberry if you ask.

Taco Tuesday

Every Tuesday is a special on tacos at Taco Johns here in my hometown. My sister has been coming over since last winter to join me in eating Mexican food. Tacos are only 69 cents each. My sister is always trying new stuff too like the stuffed grilled taco. They are pretty good too. She also likes their churros and so do I. They are the best.

Air Conditioning

My air conditioner quit working on some of the hottest days. I had all kinds of fans running in the house and it didn't feel too bad. However, it got pretty warm by night time and hard to sleep. Some good friends of mine brought a window air conditioner and put it in my bedroom window. What a great difference that made. I could even cover up with a couple sheets and sleep good. It is a life saver. Now it sounds like we are going to have some cooler days at least for a little while.

Bad News- Good News

The temperature outside was getting into the high 80's and I didn't have my central air on. I suffer from emphazema and my lungs are about shot. The hot weather was getting to me so I turned the AC on. Nothing happened and the housejust kept getting hotter. It had worked just hours before so I went into the check all contats and fuses mode to no avail.SO after sleeping or trying to sleep in a 82 degree house for 2 nights my friends came over for a cold one. Telling them what was going on they started checking and found the trouble. That means the good news is my AC is running and the house is cool so it'll be a lot better sleeping tonight.Better

Light Rain

We are getting just a little light rain today. It didn't last long and just wet the ground. It seems very hard to rain here this year. The crops are ruined. The farmers are combining the corn way ahead of schedule as it is dry and not going to grow anymore. Some cut theirs for silage. I heard the ears of corn are only half filled out. I think I heard that one plant is closing due to shortage of corn to make ethanol and I bet there will be more shutdowns. The bean crop will be smaller too and they use beans for biodiesel. I don't think they should be using crops to make gas anyway when it is needed for food. Food prices are skyrocketing. And it will get worse before it gets better.

Taco Tuesday

I love Taco Tuesday. Taco Johns has 69 cent tacos on Tuesdays and they are sooo good. My sister has been coming over from the next town to join me. We have a good meal and a good visit at the same time. We missed a couple of Tuesdays because I was sick or gone but today we can go there for lunch. I love the green hot sauce and you have to ask for it specially. And it is hot. My sister tried it once and that was enough for her. She will stick with the regular sauce. We love the churros too for dessert. Just can't beat that Mexican food.

Knee Replacement

I had a knee replacement almost 2 years ago. It has given me a great deal of pain ever since I got it. The doctor who did it said x-rays show it is fine, come back in 2 years. Well it isn't fine because I have to take pain pills, strong ones, every 4 hours to stand it. I get very little sleep and stay up most of the night before I can go to sleep. I finally went to Rochester, MN and they said it is a bad knee and needs replacing. I guess I knew that all along but glad to finally have someone say I am right. I will have to put up with it a couple more months and then I sure hope things will be completely different and pain free. My sister has had 3 knee replacements and has had no trouble with any of them.
