Wednesday, we went to Cullman. Lunch was the first order of the day. It was too windy to eat outdoors, so we picked up lunches at the church for our friends that go to the lake with us for lunch. They invited us to eat at their house since they knew how careful we are. Their grown grandchildren won't come into their house for fear they will give covid to two nonagenarians.
It was a very congenial visit. Soup and salad was the lunch. Tommy ate both the soups and I ate both the salads. There were peas in the soup. We had two more of these meals for our Wednesday dinner. Scrambled eggs will be my protein. Tommy's soup has a lot of meat and smelled delicious, but had too much heat for me. I don't need more fiber today.
We went to PO, my lot, and two grocery stores--bananas at one and for $0.69/can green beans at the other along with a 2 lb. bag of cornmeal for $0.99.
I went into AT&T to try to get a new phone for 5G use. No, no flip phones there that are 5G. However, I did pay my bill so my phone would be turned on. Since I have auto pay, I am not sure why my service was turned off. I did not want to debate with them, just turn on my phone! Done. Now, to find the free 5G flip phone AT&T keeps offering me.
The daffodils that were poking their green shoots at New Year's visits are now fully bloomed. I forgot pick them to bring them home. My allergies bothered me Wednesday, so I could not have had them in the car. Daffodils are one thing that triggers my allergies.
When I had my battery replaced in a store in town, I remembered they carried canning items. their lids and rings were expected in six weeks. Well, they were in stock when I checked this week. I bought two boxes of lids and rings. I have had no trouble finding canning jars, but the lids and rings were nowhere to be found. Now, I have enough with what came on the jars.
Dinner on Friday night--pork loin chop, Tommy had cabbage and blackeyed peas, I had coleslaw with my pork.
Have you had trouble with AT&T? What carrier do you use? What is your experience with carriers?
Lunch with your friends sounded lovely! Good food and good conversation with nice people--can't beat it!
ReplyDeleteWe don't use AT&T--we use Verizon. Can't say anything good about them because I think all phone companies are thieves.
I made turkey sausage enchiladas for dinner. Sounds weird but they were delicious and low-carb!
Hot turkey sausage removed from the casings, browned with onion, garlic, & chopped jalapenos, mixed with enchilada sauce, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, and shredded Mexican cheese. Sour cream and chopped scallions for topping. Yum! We like it spicy, LOL.
Sue,
DeleteIt was a good experience. I have had Verizon for less than 24 hours, so cannot say how they will be over the long run. I cannot eat spicy, hot food, but glad you enjoyed it, the important thing.
AT&T mailed me my new phone - no problems at all. I had it changed over and turned on - all online. I did have to transfer my phone numbers by hand, because I couldn't figure out how to do it online. It was an easy process.
ReplyDeleteCheryl,
DeleteThis was a whole ordeal. I needed to shop.
That sounds like an enjoyable meal you had with your friends. We are still so far,far away from daffodils blooming. Maybe a few crocus will bloom in a couple of weeks or so. My favorites are my tulips. Some of them are more than 30 years
ReplyDeleteold,and I have pictures of my daughter when she was a toddler sitting in front of them. I can't wait for spring to come to Missouri.
susie,
DeleteLunch was great! It is only the second time we have been in anyone's home in over two years. These people are so nice. Lots of things are blooming here. I certainly have no old flowers anymore. Those pictures are certainly memories. Have you had her pose with them lately?
I've used Verizon for probably 10 years now and that's what my mom's (lost) cell phone also uses. Never had any issues with them and found we got better cell reception in more areas than what we had before. We have no issues using our cell phones here where we live, but when all the people were here building, those that had other cell providers often didn't get very good connection.
ReplyDeleteOne,
DeleteI saw a T-Mobile ad that showed Verizon getting less coverage. Of course, I took that with a grain of salt. There is a place along the interstate where I never got good coverage with ATT. But, that was the terrain. I hope to have good service. Thanks for the information.
With your health problems, I'm surprised you can manage canning. Perhaps between the 2 of you, you get it done.
ReplyDeleteCarole,
DeleteI have no intentions of canning anything. Of course, I could change my mind. I use canning jars to store things--sugar, brown sugar, beans, leftovers, dried beans, you name it. I have wide mouth quart and pint, so have something for storing just about anything I want. Plus, I store things I dehydrate in jars, but only in pint.
Lunch with friends is one of my favorite pasttimes.
ReplyDeleteI miss this
I also miss daffodils.
Urspo,
DeleteLunch with friends was special!
