Saturday 3-11 The rain is here!!!!

Playing in the rain

Raining at the house

This morning the sun was shining and I think Larry was bored. He wanted to do something so we loaded Flo into the car and went for a ride. A couple of weeks ago in the newspaper Larry came across an add for Ye Olde English Bakery & Deli in Temple. We have never been there so we decided to try it out. It is a wonderful bakery, they have a wide variety of breakfast rolls and all the other items you would think a bakery might have. They have dozens of small finger food types of things along with pies, cakes and many types of bread. Larry and I shared a fruit Kolache and a pecan roll, they were delicious.

We didn't have anything else to do in town so we started back toward the house. Before getting to the house we went to Temple Lake Park to let Flo go for a swim. She was very excited, she hadn't been swimming for a long time so she took advantage of the opportunity and swam a long time. While swimming she swam to a fisherman who was fishing off the bank. She wanted to say hi to him but she was having trouble getting to him so he came to her and said hi. Then she swam back towards the car. When we got back to where she went in the lake she was having a little trouble walking up the small hill. Larry had to help. When we got to the car I dried her off and Larry loaded her in.

The weatherman has been predicting rain for the last couple of days and it finally came in this afternoon at about 3:00. It started out very slow but by 3:30 it was pouring. Flo decided she wanted to go play in the rain. She was laying on the back porch and then she walked down the stairs to take care of business. I didn't want her to climb up the stairs considering the other day she fell climbing up the stairs. So I got the umbrella and walked around the house to where she was. She was having a great time eating grass. I stood there waiting until she finished then I walked her around the house to the front door. By the time we got to the door she was soaked. I dried her off before letting her in the house. She had a great time playing in the rain.

Watching our shows

During the afternoon I worked on my puzzle and Larry finished reading his book. I also worked out for an hour. We had fallen behind on the GizWiz shows so we watched two episodes of it.

Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I wrote that we tried Boomerang's Handheld Aussie Pies (they were really good). Well, today for dinner I baked another type called Boomerang's Boom Bites (steak and potato mini pies). These were mini pies and we didn't think they were as good as the others.

In the evening we watched our YouTube videos and we watched a movie via Amazon called The Choice, it was a romantic comedy. I wasn't that impressed, the movie script wasn't too good, neither was the acting. We had a relaxing evening.
