Catch Up

Actually, hold the ketchup but that's dinner.  What a great few days we've had this week.  Wednesday was a running to get things done before our late lunch at Sweet Tomatoes.  Ron's phone battery has been going dead way to often so it was time for him to see about a new phone.  The good news was he was eligible for an upgrade but the bad news was they don't make the EN-V anymore.  But the good news was they make the perfect phone, not LG but Samsung sounded OK.  It's a flip phone, which is much easier to talk on but it converts to a full qwerty keyboard for texting.
Thursday was a trip to the Tucson Gem, Minerals and Precious Stones Show.  We managed to walk 3 of the many venues, which is really good for me.  The fact that we had the closest parking available without a handicap sticker made it a little easier.  We bought a couple things at Keno Memorial Park venue but nothing at the RV venue or the 22nd Street one.
Today was a trip to Tubac for their Arts Festival.  It was a perfect day to walk around the town and view the different vendors even though the rude people were there we had a good time.  Again the parking was first row after the vendor's private lot.  Couldn't believe it.  Last year we had to park the furtherest parking space away from the town and I'm not exaggerating one inch.  A lot of the spaces for booths were empty spaces and the one booth I really wanted to buy something from wasn't there and believe me, I walked the town to find him.  Oh well, guess that's what the internet is for.  We bought some great CDs from him last year and wanted to buy one as a gift.   There was a booth selling honey.  Don't know why I didn't buy any but they gave us a taste of honey comb.  Ron had never tasted it before.  It is so sweet and chewy and good.
Got to go thru the new border check point on our way back north even though we never left the US  we were about 20 miles north of the Mexico boarder when we were in Tubac.  No they didn't detain us but they did look in the driver's window to see the inside of the van and waved us on with good wishes.
Now it's time for hot dogs with no ketchup, pork and beans, cottage cheese and Mexican Pepsi for supper.
