June 25, 2012 Monday Morning

Friday night we spent the night watching TV and then the movie Playback.  It was not a good movie and glad I did not waste the money at the theater.  Went to bed after a dip in the hot tub around 10:30 PM.

Saturday morning we were up by 7 AM.  Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot.  We left the house by 9:30 AM so we could have some breakfast and then go to Best Buy to buy Tony a new flip cell phone.  Had a nice breakfast at this little coffee shop next to Best Buy.  Stopped in at a grocery store in the strip mall and then into Best Buy.  Of course they also did not have any cell phones that were the flip style.  All Tony or I do is make phone calls.  We don't text or have a need for any more than a simple phone call.  The phone companies want you to get the advanced phones so you then have to pay a higher monthly fee just to have the service.  Right now we pay $35 a piece for our phone service and like the low fee.  Walked out of Best Buy empty handed.  Decided to go back to the Sprint store on the way home and order one from their store since I tried last night to buy a phone online and got an error message saying to 'visit one of their stores'.  At the Sprint store the clerk told us one of their stores on the other side of town has the phone Tony wanted.  Got the stores address and phone number so we can go there later or on Sunday.  Went home and after spending some time with the dogs we decided to check out the Locust Street Block Party.  Walked around for a bit and ran into the owner of our favorite Italian restaurant which is right where the block party is.  She told us to come back later after we feed the dogs and 'dinner was on her'.   Walked around for a little while longer and then went home since it was getting a bit hot outside.  Spent time at home and eventually fed the dogs supper.  After we fed the dogs we went back up to the block party for supper at Palermo Villa and then walked around and listened to some of the bands at the block party.  Got home a little before 9 PM and after watching some TV we went into the hot tub for a little soaking.  Went to bed after a little lovin.

Sunday morning we were up at 6 AM.  Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot.  Made some eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast as I read the morning newspaper.  Walked up to the Sunday corner market a couple blocks away and bought some fresh cut flowers.  Came home and put a cell phone on hold at the Sprint store on the other side of Milwaukee.  Left the house and finally after 3 days of searching for a new cell phone for Tony, he got one.  Should have just gone to this Sprint store first, the clerk was so helpful.  Got lottery tickets and gas and headed home.   Stopped off at Sam's Club which is a big wholesale store, always dangerous.  Ended up spending over $200 on things we 'had to have', yah, right.  Drove home and spent the rest of the day setting up the new phones and shoe rack, two things we bought at Sam's Club.  Made the meatloaf and mashed potato's we bought at Sam's Club for supper, along with a salad.  Spent Sunday night watching the movies The Hangover 2 and Journey 2.  Both were OK, Hangover being the better of the two movies.  Went to bed around 10 PM after a little dip in the hot tub and some lovin with Tony.

This morning I was up at 6:30 AM.  Fed the dogs and gave Vito his shot.  Picked some fresh black berries from the vines out front and put them in my Life cereal for breakfast.  Remember as a kid going out black berry picking just to get out of the house.  We sometimes had buckets of them, making jam and freezing them.  Spent the morning cleaning and doing laundry.  On my fourth load of laundry.  All the bedding and blankets including the dog blankets.  I then broke down and cleaned my bathroom.  I hate cleaning bathrooms and usually just let Tony do it.  Gave it a good cleaning.  In the 70s today in Milwaukee.  Will most likely do a little more cleaning and then take a walk along the river since the weather is so nice.  Might stop at Pick N Save for a couple sale items I can carry back home while walking.  Going to make some beef ribs we bought at Sam's Club for supper tonight.  Will make a side and a salads to go with the ribs.  Tomorrow morning I have a dental cleaning appointment.  Will be nice to get them cleaned now that I have quit smoking cigs.
