Chinese Dinner

After working all day in the house spring cleaning, I offered to buy Richard dinner. I was hungry for a salad, and he agreed. So we hop in Zoom Zoom and head to town eagerly anticipating this wonderful salad. Unfortunately, the Blue Ribbon was closed. They are usually open on Sundays, so we didn't call ahead. Maybe we should have. Anyway, we turned around and headed out to the Cold Mountain. On the way up Washington, Rich sees the Beijing (Chinese food) and comments that maybe with their new building, they had better food than the last time. (Really bad last time) So the spirit of adventure wins out, we turn around again, and have a very nice dinner. The service was sparse, but the food has improved a lot. Don't have to go over the hill to get chinese food now.

County Commissioners will be in Letha tomorrow night, so we get local government at it's best.

Rich is running for the sewer board, but then you knew that. He eats, drinks, and sleeps sewer business. Getting all his do's and don'ts sorted out and in place. We may have to have a recall election if the new board chairman doesn't stand up to the past chairwoman, which is now the vice chair. Ring around the Rosy! All the same people, except for one, in new positions is all. The newest member (appointed last meeting when the ex-sec/treas. quit) is a past chairman, dating back to when his daughter-in-law embezzled from the district. (She was the sec/treasurer at that time.) He has had two heart attacks in the last two years, and still works his cattle hauling business full time. The old saying "Everything old is new again" rings true here. The new sec-treas. is behind on her sewer bill, and is related by marriage to the past chairwoman that Rich is trying to get off the board. May the "King of Letha" prevail. (Whoever named him that may have created a monster.)

Hope you all have a good week ahead. For being retired, we sure are busy.

Never been to Saigon Grill, but the last time we went to Golden Star, the food was not up to their usual standard, alot smaller portions for alot more money.

I love the aroma from the Mongolian BBQ, but not the taste. I know, I'm weird.

The Chairman asked for help with the pumps this morning, so Rich is on his way to look. We'll see from there.
