This morning we headed for Carol's with the back seat full of laundry. We stopped for diesel. It took two of us to manage the fueling process: I held the filler tube up, stretching it so that it wouldn't fold over, and Ken handled the nozzle. We managed to fuel up without incident
Carol had lunch planned and dessert ready when we walked in the door. The smell of warm pumpkin pear bread wafted through the house. We had our dessert early, of course. Debbie and Sam came over for lunch and a visit. Carol made a great spinach salad and a carrot ginger soup--a recipe that uses the immersion blender we gave her for her birthday a couple of years ago.
After lunch, Carol drove us to the Senior Health and Living Expo. It had all the expected booths for assisted living facilities and such. We found a few that caught our attention, like this one for the hospice that Dick volunteers for.
East Texas Medical Center was offering several free health screenings. Ken and I both had carotid artery screenings, something I've been wanting to do for a while. We both passed the test with good blood flow.
After we were done looking around the Expo (and picking up some candy and pens and other freebies), we walked across the street to the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden. At 14 acres, it's the largest rose garden in the nation. We strolled through, delighted by the array of roses blooming all around us.
Christine walks over to her Nana and Papa's house after school. Today she came in telling Carol that she needed to make stovetop candies for a school project. What a sweet deal!
The weather has been quite warm and humid, but rather nice in the mornings and evenings. We walked around the park in the dark tonight. The only other walkers were a couple out walking their his an hers dogs.
