Food and computers

We went to Perkins for our favorite potato pancakes and then to Walmart.  I had some good coupons and saved about $17, a couple big items with big coupons!

I worked on the new computer, making some progress.  Then I decided to see what Don's problem with the Honda GPS update and quickly found that he wasn't exactly following directions.

We went to Culver's for dinner, had shrimp which was good.  Don wanted to go to use his birthday coupon for a free sundae as it was expiring today.

Sheila came over in the evening with vegetables from her CSA box.

Nice weather!

Another beautiful day - what did we do right to get such nice weather in August?

My back hurt into the night even though I took some meds.  At 2:30 AM I couldn't take it any longer and woke Don up to put a lidocaine patch on the painful area.  Shortly thereafter I went to sleep for the rest of the night.  I took the patch off to take a shower but soon had to have another one on.  Thankfully the patches help.

I made my version of goulash for dinner.  Have enough leftovers for another meal.

Monday - doctor, back and KFC

Don started the week with a doctor appointment, took most of the morning with driving.  He needs to find a doctor a little closer to our house.  Anyway all is well.

Meanwhile I cleaned the house.  Somehow I hurt the upper left part of my back, it bothered me the rest of the day.  I was going to fix dinner but Don decided, because of my back pain, that we should pick up KFC chicken for dinner.  I didn't argue too much!

It was another beautiful day.  We had the windows open all day.  Very unusual weather for August in Minnesota - but we are enjoying.


This is SO Don:

Sunday in Apple Valley

 We could 't decide where to have breakfast so we went to Panera again.  Came home and read some of the Sunday newspapers and watched Meet the Press.  In the afternoon Sheila came over for a visit.

We finished the newspapers in the afternoon.  Had salad, bacon wrapped steak and corn-on-the-cob for dinner.  Watched some TV we had taped earlier.

This is a thinker---

Sunday

We went to Denny's for breakfast and then got gas for the month!

In the afternoon Sheila and Brenda (and dog Java) came over for a visit.  We grilled bacon wrapped steak for dinner and had huge cobs of corn-on-the-cob and a huge salad with fresh cucumber and pepper.

August 1

Sat around and drank coffee and then cleaned one shelf in my bathroom cupboard.

Nice weather but slow day.  We got salads from Panera for dinner and watched more Downton Abby.
