Hi Carol,

Hi folks, cataract surgery before terribly long. Hard to BBS just now
but alive and well!

You'll appreciate being able to see again. I had my eyes done in 2020;
my vision is now 20/25. Decided a couple of years ago that the bother of putting on, taking off reading glasses was a bother so went back to
progressive bifocals with the top part being basically plain glass.

We're travelling again, went to a baseball game today with our younger
daughter and her two boys. First major league game I've been to since
before I met Steve. We've had some good food on the this trip, from a
class reunion to a ham radio/rv rally to the Dayton Hamvention to one of
our favorite Mexican places in southern AZ. More to come as we head
north tomorrow and home next month. Stopped at a Buc-ees in Amarillo and
split a chopped brisket sandwich. I don't care for red bbq sauce (chain
doesn't make them unsauced) but the meat was pretty good for a large
volume chain place. Found out that the pulled pork sandwich they do has
a mustard based (South Carolina bbq) sauce; we prefer the eastern NC
vinegar based sauce.

Good to hear from you again, hope all goes well with the cataract
surgery.

Catch you later,

Yes, I hope all goes well. It should. We waited this for Don's moore pressiing need. Hernia surgery. It was his second and ended up taking 3 Doctors (needed more hands in there). That was done on the 12th and he's healing but slowly as expected at age 74. 4.5 months and he'll be 75.

OB Food note: Terry TTO's Japanese Ginger Sauce/dressing.

Delightful to add to a fast stir fry (1TB plus compatible oil like sesame). Woks with any type of meat and especially well with peeled shrimp!

Doesn't sound lke a fun time, hopefully he's feeling better by now. I
remember my dad having bilateral hernia surgery when I was in college,
then some years later, a repeat on one side.

We'll be hitting the road to home later this week, should get home late
next week. I stocked the camper freezer with a good number of meals but
it looks like we will be coming home with most of them. Between meals
out with family and friends, a couple of banquets, thawed meals going
for two meals instead of the one originally planned and a meal (with
left overs) at a Cracker Barrel one night when we boondocked there, food
hasn't been eaten as fast. For lunch we'll probably finish the left
overs from what we got for lunch at Mo Betta' (Hawaiian in Utah)
yesterday.

Hmmmmmmmmm, sounds like something we might look into. Had sushi at
Nancy's favorite place in NY State a few weeks ago; so far, that's been
the best sushi we've ever had. A new place opened up in Wake Forest a
couple of months ago so we tried it--and plan to never return. (G)
