Tuesday March 11th

Katie and I had some things to do in the morning but were finished in time to go and workout in the gym at 11AM. Katie went on the elliptical again with the brace on her knee and did well, and I did 25 minutes on the treadmill, upping the speed and elevation from yesterday. Then we each did some weight work on the universal gym.

We sat by the pool for awhile, just had to take advantage of a strong sun for really the first day since we arrived.

Then we went and did some shopping...seems we're always doing that. I got a chrome extension for the tail pipe for the Rav4. Buy it from Toyota over $60, buy it from O'Neils parts store here $9.95.
Then we went to Lowe's got some undercoat paint for the bathroom wall, and then we started to pick flowers for the front. We decided to get a couple of perennials, for the outside stone planters, and annuals, for the smaller middle one.

 After we did the planting, we went to feed the goats but found they were not there, and there was already food by the inside of the fence. I guess it was too hot for them and they went to the beach!

We went and hit golf balls on the range, Katie did very well as usual, while I struggled a bit with my iron shots. Was happy hitting my driver though.

When we came back we got some veggies from the "Veggie Man" Joe, who comes to the park every Tuesday afternoon with fresh vegetables. We also got a fresh pineapple that he cores for you.

It was a pretty hot day, and after working out, shopping, and hitting balls, we were tired. Not only tired but Katie is having a lot of problems with her sinuses. We're not sure if it is the Texas "crud" or allergies, but she is not feeling up to snuff. Katie hardly every complains, and this is no exception, she just keeps going...she is a trooper!

Just relaxation for the rest of the night, watched a movie and "Justified" one of the best shows on TV.

and so ends another great day in the Valley....

more later....
