Brr!
Fifty nine degrees with a north wind of twenty miles per hour is nothing more than . . . brr chilly.
Last night we were invited to a great grandson’s sixth birthday party. No more living room fun or backyard games on the lawn. The party was held at the Wow Zone in Mankato. We have seen the sign beside the Hy-Vee grocery store on the hilltop, but that was the extent of what us old people knew about it.
Unbelievable. It is an entertainment center for the entire family. Pinball machines, miniature golf, a bowling alley, a basketball court plus small dining rooms here and there that have access to a full menu. Dennis and I were like fish out of the water. Our best bet was to sit back and take it all in. We were all on our own to order off the menu. Come to find out, you can have a private room for a party, but there is a minimum on the dollar amount that is spent in drinks and food of the group. Not to worry about that. I will say that I thought an 8″ red brick oven pizza was not out of line at $8.98. Dennis thought different. For the two of us when we are totally unfamiliar with the food in a restaurant, we try and make safe choices. Anyway . . . live and learn. According to observing the young couples that were there to attend the birthday party, this event was old hat to them. Dennis and I are so in a generation gap . . . and we love being there.
Today Dennis had put some type of transmission additive in the old Ford Galaxie. It is best to put on some miles after that. We took a drive out to the south towards Fairmont and then headed east a bit. First big ride of the season and I was so thankful the top was secured and the heater worked.
The perennials are poking through the soil in the backyard. I think they believe it is safe. I didn’t purchase any flowering plants last year and this year will be a repeat. I am content with what has come up and I will take good care of it. So be it!
