Even though the temps were a little on the cool side this morning, it was still perfect weather for walking.  We really put on the miles this week and are so thankful that John can be walking without any pain.

Last night at wood carvers some of the guys decided on an outing to Del Rio for an early lunch and to see the movie War Horse.  Since we were to meet up at the Sirloin Stockade by 11 a.m., we didn't linger over breakfast and showers.


Everyone was right on time and after an hour or so of good food and conversation, we all headed down the street to the mall and movie complex.  There were 6 couples in our group--Lois and Chuck, Darlene and Everett, Jeanne and Gene, Rodger and Tudi, Betty and Harlan, and John and I. The movie was just great and I highly recommend it--I even teared up at the ending.

After leaving the theater, I think just about everyone of us ended up at Wal Mart to do some shopping.  John and I picked up a couple of items that I missed the other day and we also found a new TV.  The one we had was only 24 inches and hard to see from across the room.  We found a 42 inch one still on sale from the holidays and grabbed it before it was gone.  The TV inventory in the store was pretty low and we were fortunate to be able to find one in stock. When John and I got home, we unloaded the new TV, got it all set up, and are now enjoying a bigger and better TV picture.  Life is good!
