Retirement Mondays feel strange to me. Mondays are the ‘get back into the swing of the week’ day. Tuesday is our usual grocery shopping day when we go to Maple Grove to Costco and usually hit Cub on the way back for other groceries. Wednesday is the day the grandkids arrive every week. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all blur together. Sunday is a day of rest. Wait! Everyday is full of restful times now that we are retired.
Today Joe pulled weeds, walked Pan three times, and read. I
walked with Megan and Rufio this morning, added a new patch to Charlotte’s
Daisy vest, darned a pillow for Megan, went out to lunch with Megan at a new Mexican
restaurant here in Rockford, read, watched How It’s Made (Paper, Jeans, and Computers),
and napped. I also added Leslie Sansone Happy Walking YouTube video to my day. I
only walk a little bit to it each hour instead of all at once. I know I’ll build
the stamina to walk Leslie’s 15-minute mile eventually. Gotta start somewhere!
I enjoyed going out for lunch with Megan. The restaurant, Tacos
La Chule, is owned by a woman who learned to cook from her mother while she was
growing up in Mexico. Her family came to the United States when she was fifteen
years old, and she learned to cook American food as well. She catered for years
while her six children were attending school. This restaurant which she opened
in April 2023 is the fulfillment of her dream to have her own restaurant. Megan
had been excited when they opened as she has found it difficult to find good Mexican
food in Minnesota.
We finally made it over today and because we could not make up our minds exactly what to eat, we chose a three dip with chips plate. The dips were cheese sauce (very mild spicy), guacamole, and salsa. I went for ground beef nachos; they were very nice with lots of lettuce and sour cream piled on top. Megan chose Nancy’s Tacos. These were street tacos with asada, grilled onions, cabbage, tomatoes, and cilantro. We shared and brought home leftovers for Joe!
