Today was a day for mundane, miserable chores. We started the day with our usual enriched coffee and showers but soon had to knuckle down and take care of business. We wrote and addressed our mail, Peggy did some laundry, I dumped the tanks into the park’s partially blocked sewer system, we went to the Lack of Activity Center to access the internet and send in blog entries and photos then we drove to the post office and sent the mail.
After a short drive down the Fulton and Rockport waterfront, we went to a grocery store down here called HEB. It seems that all the locals congregate in the HEB so they can obstruct shoppers by blocking access to anything you may want or idly standing around the cashiers so even exiting the store is challenging. Prices in the HEB are not that great but they do have a fabulous meat section extending across two walls of the store. They must love sausage here because there is an abundance of varieties, mostly with the words “mesquite” and “jalapeno” on the packaging. The rest of the day we spent making Peggy’s fabulous beef stew and watching movies. We are so boring.
