Market Day

Today Brenda and I went to the market looking for a small bag of walnuts.  There is a lot to see so it took us quite some time.

There are quite a few stalls the sell fruits and vegetables, so deals are to be had.  They sell oranges in huge bags for a reasonable price.  We make our own squeezed orange juice.  The really ugly oranges are the juiciest. 

It was quiet at the market today.  It is football season here so many people are in their homes watching football.  It works for me.....I don't like to be crowded when I shop.

Brenda and I looked at some of the clothes.  They have really pretty clothes.  A lot of them seem to be made in India.  They are not expensive.  We are pretty cheap about buying ourselves things.  We need to change that.  Old habits are hard to break. 

We couldn't find walnuts at the market so went to H.E.B. which is about the only big grocery store here other than Walmart.  There are fruit and veggie stands, but not grocery stores.  H.E.B. is fairly generous with its customers.  They gave us coupons for like a dozen eggs FREE,  a  FREE package of bacon, etc.  Did you ever get that kind of a coupon?  A couple of weeks ago they supplied Christmas dinner to anyone who wanted to attend.  Brenda went. 

It is 29C right now and it is supposed to be 31C Christmas Day. We are thinking of going to the island between Christmas and New Years.

Hope you are done your Christmas shopping and have some time to relax. 

Later.......
