Thursday Outing Week 2

Still no title, will work on that..After solving the world's problems with the boys at Barnes and Nobles it was home to pick up Nancy for our Thursday lunch and adventure. First we had to go to the Weight Loss Center so that Nancy could weight in, this was her first week on the program and she lost a creditable 3 pounds. After this happy news it was off to eat at Starvo's, an Italian/Greek restaurant in Fruitland Park, this was not a new place to us as we have gone there for many years. Nancy of course had a Greek salad, which she said was very good, I think the next few weeks you will see a lot of salads from Nancy. I had a hard time thinking about what I wanted, but in the end settled for baked spaghetti, which was served very hot with a generous helping of melted cheese on top. My meal also came with a small Greek salad and garlic bread. I ate about halp of it and brought the rest home for lunch which I had yesterday and as always with pasta, it's better the second day. So, a good lunch at a reasonable price, with good service. The only bad part of the lunch was that a waitress(not ours) was talking to people at the next table about how she had nursed her grandmother's foot back to health, including details about the open wound, dead skin etc. I thought she would never stop and was at the point of being rude and saying something, but Nancy told to leave it alone, it was hard but I didn't say anything, but don't you think that is not the place or time to give a 15 minutes history of your grandmother open sores, oh well not harm no foul. As I told Nancy, it will give me something to write about, so maybe I should have thanked the waitress, NOT.

After lunch it was off to do errands, stopped at Sam's and then to Wally World to get goodies for Nancy's big meeting today in Brooksville. An ADK meeting she is running, hoping for around 200 people, hope it goes well, I know she has put a lot of time and effort into the event. Guess I will find out this afternoon.

Not much else going on, still playing a little golf, starting to think about packing for our trip to the World's Fair next month. Hope all have a great weekend and I'll see you all next week.

No new title yet

As promised, here the first of the new weekly series about the adventures of Dennis and Nancy. This week was not a big deal lunch, but it was good. We had to go to Belleview to pick up a CD we had made, we took about an hour of 8mm home movies shot in 1971-1976. We had no idea of what was on them other than hopefully our children. We now have an hour of memories that we had not seen in forever. It is not cheap having this done but well worth the investment. We were pleasantly surprised to find footage of both of our fathers who have passed. It is a very emotional hour to view these old tapes. I would recommend to anyone who has old 8mm to get them converted. Darn, this was to be about lunch. We went to a place called Jizzers, great little place, everything homemade, good service and I think I could wear my tye dyed t shirt there and not be out of place. They serve breakfast and lunch, close at 2:00pm. I'm not much of a food critic, but their cheeseburger is awesome, nothing frozen and served with fresh fruit. Of course I had the burger, Nancy had a panini with chicken, salami, cheese,sun dried tomato, and some sort of sauce, this to was served with fresh fruit, and was very good. This was the second time we had been there and both trips were enjoyable.

Normally after lunch we do errands but yesterday Nancy had Doctors appointment so we rushed to get though the traffic. Waited 45 minutes for the Dr, which about did our afternoon in. On the was home we went through the drive thru at Mickey D's for an iced coffee and a mocha frappe. This may not sound real exciting but we have a lot fun looking forward to Thursday lunch. Stay tuned...

I may be back into the Blog thing

Don't pass out, I'm about to start blogging again. On Thursdays Nancy and I go out for lunch and then do errands that need to be done. So today we were driving and Nancy said she thought I should Blog about our Thursday Adventures, be a little bit of a food critic, travel critic, and maybe just some silly things I see or do while on this Adventure. I will try and do them by Friday night, that way all of my loyal followers will not have to keep checking to see if I have posted it yet. So tomorrow before bedtime there will be the first of my new blogs. If anyone has a suggestion for a name, let me know.. Until tomorrow....
