Moving along

We had over 5" of rain yesterday, and a couple more hard showers today. It all moved on about suppertime. I did my Aldi/WalMart run this morning, and that pretty much was the limit of my energy for a while. We went out again late this afternoon. I had called about getting the disihwsher repaired, and the guy on the phone was willing to come look at it (for $75.00), but said it was unlikely they were still making parts for an appliance that old. We opted not to have him come out. We went to Lowe's and ordered a new Frigidaire dishwasher. It's nothing fancy, toward the lower end of the line. I don't need and wouldn't use all the bells and whistles that cost so much more. They should be delivering and installing in a couple of days (and taking the old one away). From there, we went to visit a friend in the hospital. She fell and broke her hip anout 10 days ago. She's in the rehab section of the hospital, and will be there for probably 2 more weeks. She's bored, but seems to be in pretty good spirits. Then we went to eat ribs at a local rib place that's reputed to be one of the best in town. We've been wanting to try it. The ribs were good, but frankly, we're rating the place last among the various choices we have. Oh, well - what makes good BBQ is very subjective. ================================ Margaret and Helen have a new posting today - always worth checking out. ================================= I‘m in Life Aboard the HMS Pie Rat today. Poolagirl has been reviewing (unfavorably) 50 Shades of Grey. She asked for readers to send in photos to illustrate the book. Of course, I supplied one. ================================= These mosaics are the reason our tour stopped in Ravenna. Magnificent!
