Sunday - 10/28/12
Most of the people at the retreat are staying till noon on Monday. That's the right way to do it... Give everything a better chance to sink in. A few of us, including Mary and I have things we need to go back for. We're leaving after lunch.
One of the things I've really enjoyed about this year is riding with people. You get to spend so much more time with the special people in your life if you are traveling to things with them. I enjoying the ride with Mary.
I'm already thinking ahead to next year, when hopefully I'll have a working vehicle. I generally stay to lead postures. So I leave later then the others leaving on Sunday, including Mary We might be able to have Mary ride down with me and then back with someone else. I hope so! I like the idea of continuing the social I've added this year.
I told Mary I wanted to stop and buy some lemons if we see a roadside stand with them. None of the roadside stands we've seen had lemons. She's so sweet! She took a different way to the 15 so we could stop at the one stand I used to love!
They had lemons! I bought lemons, reed avocados. Grapefruit and pomegranates! I'm thrilled! They also had this weird lemon that looks like some kind of Halloween item. They say it's grown for it's skin, not the juice. I bought one to give to Tracye. I think she'll like it as a Halloween item.
On the way up I told Mary it might be nice to stop at a Walmart on our way back, to see if they have the a3 or aw125 scooter (basically the same scooter but the aw125 was made for Walmart.). Now I've made the commitment to get a new scooter, I want to do it. She asks me if I'd still like to stop at a Walmart. I check their prices on the internet, then check prices in eBay. There's one that's cheaper on eBay! I think that's the first time that's happened! It seems to ship really slowly I guess Christina can wait I tell Mary I don't need to stop, that I'm going to buy the one on eBay.
At home I ask Mary if she wants to stay for awhile. She gets her knitting out of the car. We watch cadfael and then some Ted talks I'd wanted to show her. I cooked a green salad, rice, chana masala, and stir fry broccoli and peas.
