Saturday Stroll

Jerry and I went to The Brick today for lunch. I had been wanting to try it and it was worth the wait. The place is always packed, or I should say that the outside tables are always taken. Inside it wasn't nearly as crowded when we arrived. The food was good and different. I had a chicken salad but the dressing was amazing. It had a nutty taste to it. Jerry had a Cuban Panini. I was jealous cause I wanted the cuban but I'm really working on the the WW Anyway, it was a lovely place. One thing we really liked is that it had a very intimate feeling. Tall booth backs and the tables were far enough apart that people wouldn't feel like they were on top of each other. After lunch we strolled around Avondale's shops. One of my favorite shops, Basket Case to the Rescue is located there. They have all kinds of wonderful little gifty things. After spending time in there we went down to Cowford Traders. I have to remember all these wonderful shops when I start my Christmas shopping. Another great little shop is Gottahaveit. I found lots of cute flamingo things there. Actually at all of the shops we went into. Oh yea..let me back up... in the Cowford Trader shop they have wonderful toys. I think Jerry and I played with almost everything. Was a very pleasant afternoon on such a beautiful day!

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
