A CELEBRATION
« on: April 19, 2021, 12:41:33 PM »
Well, I turned 78 today and my beautiful bride took me to Frontera for Tex Mex.
This was the second time we have eaten out since covid started and the other time was also Frontera. :)

We ate outside and luckily we got on the upwind side and that kept the viruses blown away.
Plus, the little woman had Clorox wipes to clean the chairs and table.

We each had beef enchiladas with rice, refried beans, cheese dip, and plenty of hot pepper dip.
I devoured all of mine and momma brought home half of hers.

Momma had a frozen Margarita and I had a Miller light.  The miller light helps with my tremor so I'm not too embarrassed to eat out.

I researched that and it sounds pretty good.  I've always liked bloody Marys so I'd probably like that.
When we go back, which will be pretty soon, I'll see if they can make a custom one.

Thanks for all the well wishes.
When I was a young adult, reaching 78 never entered my mind.

But hey, since I made it this far, I think I'll shoot for 98. :)

Unless I'm still walkin, talking, and taking care of myself, I'll pass on 98.

Happy birthday Ron! May you continue to enjoy the gift of health.

I grew up in a time when ALL boys carried a pocket knife.
I went to the last (as far as I know) one room school in Illinois for my first seven years.
Then we moved to town, and I could walk through town with a rifle and a revolver on my way hunting and nobody looked twice.
Everyone who wanted a job could get one.
Cars had big V8s and you could tell them apart.
I grew up in the absolutely best time of the the 20th century.

I almost cry when I look at my country today.

I agree with you but a God Blessed Happy Birthday anyway.

Happy 78, Bug. I like my Tex-Mex groceries but don’t share you and Dee’s choices of beer to drink with it. I suffer with tremors too but beer has never done anything for mine.

I just changed from primidone to prepranalol and now I can empty my bladder.  That primidone swelled my prostate.
A beer or a glass of wine has a settling effect on my tremors.
On our last cruise, people were allowed to bring two bottles of wine or a 12 pack of beer.
So when we'd get ready for dinner I'd pour my bubba cup full of wine and drink it on the way to the dining room and then order wine for my bubba cup.
that way I wasn't as likely to embarrass myself by slinging food around. :)
