Visit with Mike's brother & wife

Yesterday Mike and his brother Chris drove into Granbury to the Goodyear Tire store and Mike bought 2 new tires for the front of the Vue. Then they stopped at RaceTrac and Mike bought got gas for the car ($3.239 a gal).

While Mike and Chris were running their errands, Carole and I went shopping. We went to a couple of boutique shops and stopped at the Benbrook Antique Mall to browse. Tinker has a white stuffed teddy bear that is his favorite toy and it has definitely seen better days. I found a Coca Cola stuffed bear that is almost exactly like the bear he already has. I bought it for $10 - I checked to make sure it didn't have any beads in the stuffing before I bought it.

Last night we went out to eat at one Chris and Carole's favorite Mexican restaurants Mi Familia in Granbury. Mike ordered the beef burrito dinner and I had the beef taco dinner and some Negra Modelo beer.

We just spent today relaxing at the house before we went out to dinner. Chris and Carole are members of the local MOAA (Military Officers Association of America) and tonight was their monthly meeting and dinner at the Pecan Plantation Country Club.

We went early to the dinner because Chris is selling raffle tickets and he needed to be at the check-in table. While Mike and Chris were out at the entrance to the country club, Carole and I visited with their friends and enjoying our glasses of wine.

The dinner tonight was a buffet ($22 a person) and everything looked delicious. The food was great and so were the people we met.

Mike is a member of the National MOAA and we're going to look into finding a local chapter at Vero Beach and attend some of their functions and maybe join their chapter. The dinner was over by 9:00 and we headed back to the house.
