Sarasota FL
We were supposed to have a day of sorting through stuff, in preparation for our move to Linger Lodge, but our friend Gary called and pulled me out of the house. His car had broken down in the WalMart parking lot and he needed some help. Kelly stayed at the house and I took my first solo drive in Sarasota. She had drawn a very clear map for me, so I knew exactly how to get to the WalMart. I drove Gary home and visited with his dogs while we planned our strategy for dealing with his car.
That evening, Kelly and I met Brenda, Barb, Sue, Mary, Cheryl, and Dorthea for supper at Two Amigos. Cheryl is Barb’s sister and one of our FarmVille neighbors. Dorthea is their mother. Every time we try a new Mexican restaurant, I think, “Wow, this is the best Mexican food I’ve had since our trip to Mexico,” and then we eat at a different one and I think it all over again. This one had a very interesting menu with lots of choices that were new to me. I had fried plantains and fried black bean cakes. The plantains were dark with carmelization and so sweet and sticky. I shared them with the table and Dorthea decided they were one of the best things she’d ever eaten – she took the leftovers home. The black bean cakes were thick and filling, with beans and grain. I had to pack up leftovers for myself as well.
After Barb took Dorthea home, we went bowling. I’ve stopped bowling because it’s too hard on my good shoulder. Usually, I watch and cheer everyone, but that evening, I watched the Olympics on the TV hanging over one of the lanes. I think Kelly felt a bit neglected, but who can resist watching the Olympics?
